Grounded in Place: Dialogues Between First Nations Artists from Australia, Taiwan and Aotearoa

October 5, 2021News

Register here 7-9 October 2021 This online symposium is a conversation between 15 First Nations artists, curators, and filmmakers, along with non-Indigenous scholars and museum professionals from Australia, Taiwan, Aotearoa, and the Philippines.

AAANZ | INDIGENISATION VALUES STATEMENT

September 20, 2021Advocacy

The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and tangata whenua (Indigenous peoples) of Aotearoa New Zealand and all those who seek racial equality and justice.

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 […]
