Wednesday Talks // Alfred Lowe

Join us for a casual Wednesday Talk with Alfred Lowe.

Alfred Lowe is an Arrernte person from Snake Well in the Central Desert, north of Alice Springs. Alfred grew up in Alice Springs which is where he developed his interest in art, particularly ceramics and sculpture. Alfred started his practice in 2021 at the APY Art Centre Collective's Art Centre in Adelaide.

Alfred’s practice is primarily focused on ceramics and fibre sculptures. Using these materials to explore themes of identity, land and the intersection of cultural practice and the modern world. Alfred’s interest in fine art is heavily influenced by his upbringing in Central Australia. Alice springs is a politically and racially charged region and this can often lead to conflict in community, but Alice is also a region of immense beauty full of people with a deep love of community and the arts. Alfred explores these often-clashing ideals alongside his identity, culture, and relationship with country. 

Alfred is a two-time finalist in the Ramsay Art Prize at the Art Gallery of South Australia. He was a finalist in the 2025 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and winner of the 2025 Rigg Design Prize at the National Gallery of Victoria.
