6.30pm

Tarnanthi Artist talk
Hear from Trawlwoolway artist Julie Gough, who will speak about her installation for Tarnanthi titled Psychoscape on display in Gallery 8 at AGSA. In this unsettling body of work, Gough positions colonial works of art from the AGSA collection alongside new moving image works and objects that expose stories she has uncovered through ongoing research into the archives of her ancestors in Tasmania. She challenges the established colonial narrative perpetuated in Australia’s national story and does not shy away from speaking the truth about what she uncovers.
