Arcadia features new digital artworks commissioned by the Powerhouse to respond to Gucci Garden Archetypes – an immersive, multimedia exhibition exploring the seminal advertising campaigns envisioned by Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele.

Gucci Garden Archetypes was first held in Florence and was presented exclusively at Powerhouse Ultimo from November 2022 to January 2023.

Five Sydney creative practitioners were commissioned to create exciting new work for Arcadia: Serwah Attafuah, Jade D’Amico, Amani Haydar, Emma Pham and Justine Youssef.
