Celebrating the heart of North Adelaide!
Last year, community artist @louise.flaherty undertook a 6-month artist residency at the North Adelaide Community Centre with the City of Adelaide. Her project, ‘For the Love of North Adelaide’, honoured the suburb’s people, places, natural environment, culture, and history.
Louise led creative workshops with community members to create vibrant hand-drawn postcards reflecting their experiences of the suburb. Composer Belinda Gehlert brought these stories to life through an accompanying audio response.
‘Postcards from North Adelaide’ offers a delightful exploration of familiar images and local sentiments.
This exhibition is currently on display in the Pink Gallery at the WCH, located in the Level 1 corridor between the Telehealth Room and Women’s Outpatients.

Leah Newman is an artist living and working on Kaurna Land, drawn to her family’s rich botanical heritage. Separated from the landscapes of her upbringing, she reflects on the wonder that once surrounded her, exploring the tension between that beauty, our contemporary human condition, and our growing disconnection from nature.
This theme shapes Leah’s work, where subtle metaphors and narratives emerge through botanical and figurative elements.
Her focus on so-called “weeds” invites a shift in perspective. These resilient plants, often misunderstood, thrive in degraded soils and harsh conditions, prevent erosion, rebuild fertility, moderate climate, create habitats, and provide nutrient-rich food and remedies. By seeing these plants without labels, we can appreciate their inherent beauty and potential.
Experience this thoughtful and visually engaging exhibition in the Green Gallery at the WCH, located outside the Café on Level 2.
