Join us for our lunchtime artist talk with Raquel Ormella, presented by Western Sydney Creative and the School of Humanities and Communication Arts in association with the exhibition Women (seen).

Raquel Ormella’s practice encompasses various media and can be divided into two broad thematic streams: political language and its effects on national identity, and the complex relationships between humans and the natural environment. She is a high-profile artist whose 25-year practice is consistently curated into national and international exhibitions. A major work Australia Rising #1(2009) was included in the landmark #knowmyname survey of contemporary women artists at the National Gallery of Australia. In 2018 Shepparton Art Museum curated a solo survey show, I hope you get this, that toured to 5 regional and state galleries in the Eastern States with NETS Victoria. She is a graduate from Western Sydney University and is currently a Lecturer at the School of Art & Design, Australian National University, Canberra.

Women (seen) is on display at The Margaret Whitlam Galleries, The Whitlam Institute, Building EZ, Parramatta South Campus until 26 April.
