More Than Reproduction (MTR) is a Gadigal-based, artist-led initiative and curatorial platform co-founded by Jennifer Brady, Millie Mitchell and Sarah Rose. Working with female-identifying and gender-fluid artists, MTR centralises printmaking as both a practice and a framework with collaboration and exchange as its motivators.
Delivering exhibitions and programs across Australia, MTR aims to support artists at formative stages of their practice. Grounded in peer-led exchange, professional development and community building, the platform positions print not only as a technical medium, but as a social and relational space. Advancing the visibility, relevance and future of print-practice within contemporary discourse has remained paramount to our operations, where we strive to bolster artists to take risks, challenge tradition and experiment.
