Create Ideas 2021
Create NSW has curated a series of panel discussions on a range of thought-provoking and insightful topics. Watch the videos below.
Exploring the Future – Museum Protocols and Practices
Join presenter, Colin Kinchela in a lively online discussion with Aunty Jeanette Crew OAM and David Crew, Djon Mundine OAM, Alison Williams, and Matt Poll. Global shifts in museum practices are promoting more cross-cultural and polyvocal approaches to collection interpretation and to the audience experience. New processes for museums are evolving from the role of closed authoritative sites of knowledge to facilitators – to reflect public discourse within the communities they operate. Watch now.
Taking Up Residence
Join our all-female First Nation’s panel discussion – Taking Up Residence – hosted by Lily Shearer. Lily will lead and engage in a culturally rich conversation with First People’s artists Lorrayne Fishenden, Bethany Thornber, and Alison Williams about their experiences of leading and participating in On-Country Residencies in regional NSW.
Taking Up Residence provides a unique opportunity to hear about First People’s arts practices and what they mean in residencies, advocation of infrastructure for First Peoples’ residencies, Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Property (ICIP) and inclusion practices for non-First Nations people. This panel inspires, challenges, and changes the way you think about creating, and developing future artworks On Country. Watch now.
