The Mill invites you to experience Make|Shift via one of two access tours:

11am: Auslan interpreted, guided tour

The Mill invites the Deaf community to join us for an Auslan interpreted, guided tour of the Make|Shift exhibition for Deaf and hearing-impaired audiences. In this tour members of the Make|Shift artistic team will talk about the exhibition and the meaning of the artwork, with Auslan interpreters from DeafConnect translating.

1pm: Audio description tour

The Mill invites audiences who are blind or have low vision to join us for an audio-described guided tour of the Make|Shift exhibition. In this tour members of the Make|Shift artistic team will talk about the exhibition and the meaning of the artwork, and the describers will supply visual descriptions of the work and facilitate any touching of artworks/reference objects. Presented with Access2Arts

Make|Shift is an immersive and experimental exhibition of projection art as part of Illuminate Adelaide. The exhibition features digital image and projection based work by six South Australian multidisciplinary artists; James Alberts, Ray Harris, Sarah Neville, Liam Somerville, Inneke Taal and Tanya Voges, with Margie Medlin as Artistic & Curatorial Facilitator supported by artistic mentorship from illuminart’s Cindi Drennan and Tim Gruchy.

The Make|Shift exhibition will be open for viewing across The Mill’s Exhibition Space and Showcase galleries, The Breakout and outdoor spaces. 

  • Make|Shift is part of The Mill’s Expand program, a responsive process and development program, with interest in challenging artists to explore interdisciplinary, site-specific and audience-focused new work.

    Expand supports artists to explore different modes of collaborating and encourages peer-learning. It enables risk taking, experimentation and freedom of expression in the creation and realisation of new works. Expand invites audiences to not only appreciate, but actively participate in the practice of art-making through artists talks, Q&A’s and public workshops.

    The exhibition has been developed through Expand’s  Cinematic Experiments: Projection Techniques and Technologies program.

  • Item description
  • 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.
