    Event description

    In April 2024, Kamilaroi and Bigambul artist Archie Moore’s exhibition kith and kin  at the Australia Pavilion was awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Best National Participation at La Biennale de Venezia 2024. This is the first time that an Australian artist has received this accolade. 

    In kith and kin, Moore transforms the Australia Pavilion with the artist’s expansive, genealogical chart spanning 65,000 years. kith and kin is commissioned by Creative Australia and curated by UQ alum (Bachelor of Arts ’07) Ellie Buttrose. 

    In celebration of this historic moment, please join Ellie Buttrose (Curator, Contemporary Australian Art, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art) in conversation with artist Archie Moore and Bundjalung editor and poet Grace Lucas-Pennington. Together, they will discuss Moore’s exhibition kith and kin and the unparalleled experiences that led them to Venice; of community, kinship, and the infinite relations that connect us all.  

    Doors will open at 4:30pm with the talk commencing at 5pm – 6pm. 

    Please note, due to increased demand and to accomodate additional guests, we have decided to change the venue location for the talk to room 348, Physiology Lecture Theatres (63), UQ St Lucia. Following the talk, please join us at the UQ Art Museum for refreshments.

    This event is proudly associated with UQ Arts.
