The Exhibition Space, 154 Angas Street, Kaurna Yarta

$20 (+ booking fee)

  • You can find Yasemin Sabuncu’s Alchemical in The Mill’s Exhibition Space,
    located at 154 Angas St, Kaurna Yarta (Adelaide).

    The Exhibition Space is open Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm.


Join Yasemin for a 2-hour workshop exploring themes from the Alchemical exhibition, viewing the alchemy of chronic illness and art as a process that changes and transforms.

Yasemin invites participants to bring along something that they would like to transform- a situation, a feeling, an illness or diagnosis. Yasemin will guide participants through her process of reclaiming power as a creative, transforming it into something unexpected, new, and uncharted. Not-quite-therapy, but more than just the process of art, the workshop encourages collectivity and community as part of the transformation.

What to expect:

Participants will use pens, pencils, paper, and paint to explore something that they are finding emotionally or physically tricky, and turn it into art.*

Experience level:

Open to all skill levels, 18+

*please note: The Artist and The Mill are not trained Art Therapists. This workshop is about exploring Yasemin’s process as an artist.

  • The Mill has two entrances, the main entrance on the corner of Angas and Gunson Street and an accessible entrance further down Angas Street. Unfortunately, the main entrance is not accessible, as it has a small step from the pavement.

    Both doors are locked from the outside, there is a doorbell on the main door that will alert The Mill team you would like to come into the building.

    A member of The Mill team sit in the foyer Monday to Friday and can assist you with access to our wheelchair accessible entrance.

    The Mill has concrete flooring throughout with no internal steps and a disability toilet on site.
