About
Engage with artworks and the stories they tell, and reflect on the long history of this place. On this tour, you’ll hear from First Nations storytellers and creatives as they highlight artworks from QAGOMA’s Indigenous Australian Art Collection and explore the complex stories of history, culture and place that they tell. In this season’s tour, explore the work of artists Judy Watson, Doreen Reid Nakamarra, Ryan Presley and Vernon Ah Kee. This season’s facilitator: Sam Harrison. Sam is an emerging Brisbane-based artist and curator of Kamilaroi and Wiradjuri decent. Free, bookings required. Capacity is limited. / Held during National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) – a time for strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples for the benefit of all Australians. Blaklash Creative’s involvement in this project is supported through a Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland initiative, thanks to the support from the Queensland Government, Department of State Development, Tourism & Innovation
