When
30 April 2022
Saturday, 11-11:45am (AEST)
Tune in to join artist Talia Smith for a live-streamed tour and Q&A within her solo exhibition, Don’t be bashful, wear the flower behind your ear, at Murray Art Museum Albury.
Smith will walk us through her works that explore the ebb and flow of how one connects to their culture. Considering the Samoan concept of the va – the space between, a space in which separate times, relationships, things, and entities are held outside of Westernised constructs – Smith poses multiple possibilities, future imaginings, and an acknowledgement that culture is never one defined thing.
