TROPICAL TONGUE Minna Leunig

AN ODE TO THE RESTLESS PULSE OF THE TROPICAL NORTH

24 JAN - 8 FEBRUARY

Tropical Tongue is Minna Leunig’s new solo exhibition, an ode to the restless pulse of the Tropical North, shaped by her lived experience since relocating to Larrakia Country in 2024.
Through close, ferocious observation of people and place, Minna responds to the sensory overload of the tropics - where the air fizzes with humidity and electricity, excess is ordinary, and intensity defines the atmosphere. Her instinctive visual language embraces the wild sensuality of the North, slipping between reverence and absurdity to capture the charged strangeness of everyday life in the region.
Minna invites us away from polished restraint and into the land of the Tropical Tongue: a world that’s unapologetically alive, feral, and a little bit rude.
"Stay wild, keep the spirit undomesticated."
"Protect what’s alive: the land beneath our feet and the fire within."
