About the exhibition
Floribunda is an exhibition organised by Bunjil Place in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria. Curated by David Sequeira.
The title, Floribunda, Latin for many-flowering is a hybrid of ‘flower’ and ‘abundance’.
The exhibition Floribunda, a major partnership between the National Gallery of Victoria and Bunjil Place, is an intoxicating larger-than-life mashup of floral imagery, design and motif drawn exclusively from the NGV Collection. Through its ‘Wunderkammer’ style of display, Floribunda celebrates and reimagines the nature and significance of one of Australia’s most important collections. Including Decorative Arts, Fashion and Textiles, Painting, First Nations Australia and Pacific Art, the selection of works spans multiple histories, cultures and art forms. Featuring poignant still life paintings, couture embellished with swirls of floral pattern, and objects lavishly adorned with buds and blooms, Floribunda connects human experience with the beauty and poetic symbolism of flowers.
Curated by David Sequeira, Floribunda is organised by Bunjil Place in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria.
