Our next IBAConversations revolving around the topics of solidarity, care and how these can drive forward a new way of working within our communities is just two days away, which gives us just enough time to present our second invited guest Brook Andrew.
Brook Garru Andrew is a leading Australian contemporary artist and scholar who is driven by the collisions of intertwined narratives, often emerging from the mess of the “Colonial Hole”. In 2020, he was Artistic Director of NIRIN, the 22nd Biennale of Sydney . Brook’s matriarchal kinship is from the kalar midday (land of the three rivers) of Wiradjuri, and Ngunnawal on his mother’s father’s line, both Aboriginal nations of Australia, and paternally Celtic. He is Associate Professor Fine Art, Monash University and Enterprise Professor Interdisciplinary Practice, University of Melbourne.
He has also been part of our most recent series of interviews #biennialsintimesofcovid19 where we had a first chance to understand the importance of his approach to curating and understanding of the role and responsibilities of an institution such as the Biennial of Sydney. We look very much forward to hearing his thoughts in this more informal setting!
We have asked him, as we have made a habit with our invited guests, to share with us an article he thought would be a useful introduction to his project and approach. You can find the full article at the following link:
