Since 2019 Agency has been bringing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, their culture and art to Sicily, as part of a partnership with the cultural centre FARM Cultural Park. Participating and exhibiting artists have included: Regina Pilawuk Wilson (2019), The Mulka Project (2021), Amrita Hepi (2022) and Corben Mudjandi (2023). The most recent of these projects took place in June 2023, and saw Mirrar Traditional Owner and emerging photographer from Jabiru, Corben Mudjandi, travelling to Italy for a 2-week residency followed by an exhibition curated by Agency in collaboration with Marrawuddi Arts and Culture, as part of the Australian Pavilion of the Countless Cities Biennale at FARM. This project has attracted the interest of Melbourne-based institutions such as the Museum of Australian Photography, with whom Agency worked with to curate an exhibition of works by Corben that will be launched as part of the photography festival Photo 24—with an eye to encouraging an acquisition for the Museum collection.
