Know My Name Conference: Communities, Collectives and Lineages
Facilitator Dr Mikala Tai with Dr Janine Burke, Fayen Ke-Xiao d’Evie, Associate Professor Mikala Dwyer, Emily McDaniel and Bhenji Ra.
How have intergenerational lineages been forged by community-based practices and cooperative ways of working? And how have they shaped contemporary culture and fostered experimentation? These networks, often self-determined and initiated by women artists, provide vital support for artistic inquiry and creativity. This panel will embrace diverse perspectives on artistic lineages across time, celebrating the varying ways that they have manifested. Leading Australian artists, academics and curators will consider how their work is anchored in communities and collective practice. Discussing the role of exhibitions in bringing artists together and the importance of mentorship, the panel will take an intersectional approach that highlights the voices of First Nations, culturally diverse and trans and non-binary artists, as well as artists with disabilities.
Presented as part of the Know My Name Conference.
