AAANZ | INDIGENISATION VALUES STATEMENT

We abhor state-sanctioned violence that has occurred through the generations and resulted in inequities across all aspects of contemporary life. We see the effects in art galleries and museums, universities and […]

They are proposing constructing the theoretical basis of the exhibition with the philosophical vision of materials, new materials, and new materialism.

AAANZ Conference UPDATE

August 8, 2021AAANZ Conference

The Conference Conveners, Donna Brett and Mark Ledbury, together with the AAANZ Executive, have reluctantly concluded that the 2021 AAANZ conference will now take place fully online, rather than as an in-person event.

The news over the past week suggests that these are almost certain to continue in some form until late in the year, creating risk and uncertainty for both us as organisers, and you as attendees. Moreover, on Friday, the University of […]
