FAB CULTURAL AFTERNOON – HARRY SEIDLER & HAPPY HOUR 📅 Sunday 29 November 2026 ⏰ Meet at 2.30pm 📍 Chau Chak Wing Museum, University of Sydney Join us for something a little different as FAB heads to the University of Sydney to see Migrating Modernism: The Architecture of Harry Seidler. This fascinating exhibition explores the life, influences and work of one of Australia’s most important architects, from his early years in Vienna and his encounters with some of the great names of international modernism through to the buildings that helped reshape Sydney and Australian architecture. The exhibition includes architectural drawings, photographs, models and artworks and is a great chance to discover more about the man behind some of Sydney’s most recognisable buildings. Best of all — entry to the exhibition is FREE! We’ll meet at the Chau Chak Wing Museum at 2.30pm, giving us plenty of time to explore the exhibition before the museum closes at 4pm. 🍻 THEN… HAPPY HOUR! Afterwards we’ll take a short stroll to The Duck Inn Pub & Kitchen nearby for drinks, a chat and their Sunday happy hour from 4pm. Come for the exhibition, the drinks or preferably both! Another relaxed FAB afternoon of culture, conversation and good company. Hosted by Craig

🎨 **Shake things up and you'll see new colours.** **Please note: She Sees Art is a women-only group and event. Women of all backgrounds are welcome.** Why not mix up your weekend routine by joining like-minded women to explore art, discover new perspectives and enjoy a coffee and good company along the way? We'll start with coffee at **Sol Coffee House** in Haymarket before heading to **4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art** to explore two exhibitions: **Andy Ewing: Ancestor Spirits** and **Kirthana Selvaraj: In the Half Light**. The exhibitions close in mid-December, so I've added an extra November outing to the calendar rather than waiting for our next monthly event! **ART FOCUS** Contemporary art · Cultural heritage · Identity & belonging · Queer perspectives · The body & personal stories **A NOTE ON THE EXHIBITIONS** These contemporary art exhibitions explore cultural heritage, identity, queerness, sexuality, illness and the body. The works include personal and potentially challenging subject matter. Please feel free to read more about the exhibitions on the [4A website](https://4a.com.au/exhibitions/andy-ewing-ancestor-spirits/) before attending. ⏰ **PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT STARTS AT 10:30AM**, a little later than some of our other outings due to museum opening hours. We'll meet for coffee before heading to the gallery at 11:00am. The event will wrap up around 12:00–12:30pm. **WHERE WE'RE GOING** ☕ **Meeting point: SOL Coffee House, Haymarket** 181-187 Hay St, Haymarket NSW 2000 🎨 **Art destination: 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art** 181-187 Hay St, Haymarket NSW 2000 **Can't make the coffee? No problem!** You're very welcome to meet us outside 4A at 11:00am. * Women of all ages welcome * No art knowledge required, just curiosity! * Free to attend — exhibition entry is free; everyone pays for their own coffee and food **Coming on your own?** That's completely fine! She Sees Art is about enjoying art and culture together and getting to know other women in a relaxed, welcoming setting. I'll share any final updates, including what I'm wearing so you'll know who to look for, in the Meetup group chat. **Questions?** First time joining us, or have a question about the event? Feel free to email me at sheseesartsydney@gmail.com. I'm happy to help! I can't wait to see you all! 🎨✨ *Cover Image: Andy Ewing: Ancestor Spirits and Kirthana Selvaraj: In the Half Light (installation view), 2026. Photographs by Document Photography.*
