Join National Gallery of Australia's Sarina Noordhuis-Fairfax, Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings, for a tour of Spowers and Syme. Discover the story behind Ethel Spowers and Eveline Syme's work, friendship and their collaboration to promote modern art in Australia. Noordhuis-Fairfax will share insights into the development of the exhibition and its context as a Know My Name project, the NGA's gender equality initiative highlighting the contribution of women artists.

Ethel Spowers and Eveline Syme both depicted the familiar world around them but were innovative in the printmaking techniques they employed. These two progressive women artists present perspectives on the changing face of interwar Australia.

Spowers & Syme is a National Gallery of Australia Touring Exhibition supported by Visions of Australia, Major Patron David Thomas AM and the Gordon Darling Foundation. Spowers & Syme is a Know My Name project.
