Presented by UniSC Art Gallery and ANAT, Reciprocity brought together Australian artists working at the intersections of art, science, and technology to explore the ethics and potential of reciprocal exchange.

In research and creative practice, reciprocity has been theorised as a dynamic model of mutual benefit, one that shifts from extractive or hierarchical modes towards collaboration grounded in respect, trust, and shared agency. The reciprocity model is a space where all participants, human and more-than-human, thrive through interaction.

Collectively, the works in this exhibition ask how reciprocity, conceptually, materially, and as a lived experience, might guide us toward more sustainable and ethical futures.
