This panel brings together a diverse group of artists and curators who work in unique and powerful ways to address shared thematic concerns relating to notions of identity, race and culture, nationhood, and the current socio-political climate in Australia.
The discussion provides an opportunity for each panelist to discuss their work and provide perspective on how both artist and curatorial practices can question, interrupt, and provide alternative and egalitarian frames of reference to dominant paradigms. The big question is, can art and curatorial practices bring about world change?
