RITHIKA MERCHANT, 'Silo' 2023
Seventy artists, collectives and projects from more than 30 countries feature in the eleventh chapter of the flagship Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) exhibition series, the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. For the first time this Triennial includes creators from Saudi Arabia, Timor-Leste and Uzbekistan, while First Nations, minority and diaspora cultures hold a central place, as do the collective, performative and community-driven modes of artmaking that thrive in the region. Through nuanced approaches to storytelling, materials and technique the exhibition explores themes that resonate across these cultural landscapes.
(This talk has been organised now because TAASA had to cancel its visit to APT11 due to Severe Tropical Cyclone Alfred and Curator Tarun Nagesh has generously agreed to speak on the APT for those who could not get there. There is still a bit of time – the show closes 5 th May.)
