Know My Name: Australian Women Artists
Touring Portal
Key information
Thank you for hosting this National Gallery touring exhibition.
Exhibition Overview
'One hundred years ago art museums were seen as sanctified spaces for art from the past; repositories of recognised greatness. That recognition was almost entirely gender-specific: the great artists of the past were male—or so went conventional wisdom. Today those certainties have been swept away; society has changed profoundly in the past 50 years and women have been claiming their place in every area of cultural life.'
Know My Name: Australian Women Artists tells a new story of Australian art. Looking to moments in which women created new forms of art and cultural commentary, the exhibition suggests new histories by highlighting creative and intellectual relationships between artists through time.
Know My Name is part of an ongoing series of gender equity initiatives by the National Gallery to increase the representation of women artists who have often been omitted from published histories and public collections. It draws from a two-part presentation held at the National Gallery between 2020–22 which was among the most comprehensive exhibitions of art by women assembled in Australia to date.
Know My Name: Australian Women Artists is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia.
Curator: Elspeth Pitt, Senior Curator, Australian Art and Deirdre Cannon, Assistant Curator, Australian Art.
