WRG Digital Call-Out: Black Myth

WRG Digital Call-Out: Black Myth

Published on: 2 February, 2026

Call for entries! Applications for the WRG Digital Call-Out are now open!

The WRG Digital Call-Out invites emerging artists and designers to respond to the Theme: Black Myth, by creating a short, digital artwork for the White Rabbit Gallery website landing page. The winner will receive a $2,000 AUD artists’ fee, professional support and promotion.

The Theme: Black Myth draws its initial inspiration from the viral Chinese video game ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ (2024), a modern retelling of the legendary novel ‘Journey to the West’. Applicants to the WRG Digital Call-Out: Black Myth are invited to engage with this theme and guide audiences on journeys of their own—whether mythic, mystical, spiritual, or temporal. The judges are seeking work that is transformative, transcendent, and deeply immersed in the mythic imagination.

WRG Digital Call-Out Winner Announced

Published on: 12 November, 2025

We are pleased to announce the Winner of the inaugural WRG Digital Call-Out: Rel Pham! 🌟

Responding to the theme ‘Hooligans’, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist Rel Pham impressed the judging panel with his striking video animation, ‘Mon Visage Quand’. His work explores the evolving practice of surveillance, categorisation, and dehumanisation of peoples.

The judges were absolutely blown away by Rel’s submission, praising its exceptional technical skill, bold production quality, and powerful conceptual depth. ‘Mon Visage Quand’ packs a punch within its short 20-sec duration, that seems to offer something new with every viewing.

Known for his electric palette and surrealist sensibility, Rel Pham draws upon old world fables and rituals for thematic inspiration. Pham explores the interconnected nature of our current physical and digital realities through screen-based video, animation and installation.

You can now view Rel’s winning piece on our website homepage and in the WRG Digital Archive — along with several Special Mention artists.

Li Wei - One Upon A Time

THE HOOLIGANS

Published on: 31 October, 2025

Rabble-rousers, riffraff, scoundrels, and criminals. Troublemakers, wanderers, deviants, misfits. They’ve gone by many names—but to the Chinese state, they were once known simply as The Hooligans. For as long as rules have existed, people have found ways to break them. In the face of relentless restrictions, Chinese artists have learned to think beyond imposed boundaries. Refusing to cooperate, daring to defy, and stirring up trouble, the artists in this exhibition speak for those sacrificed to keep the peace.

The Hooligans opens on Friday 19th December at 10am.
