About
What is Void?
Curated by Emily McDaniel and hosted by UTS Art, this public lecture ‘What is Void?’ will discuss the concept and associations of void as a spatial notion by contemporary Aboriginal artists from around the country. In order to demonstrate the diverse definition of void, each artist will relate the notion to their professional context by bringing awareness and insight from the personal, historical and acestral significance. This lecture will be rooted in respect and understanding for the experience shared from creative practices and a First Nations Perspectivel.
