SAM Talks

SAM Curator Jessica O'Farrell sits down with multidisciplinary artist Jason Phu to discuss his recent Art Wall commission for SAM, Some of the things that have come and gone with the waters. The pair dive into Phu's creative practice, the research he undertook for his site-responsive work, and the process of depicting a landscape following the devastation of recent flooding.

Australian Melting Pot (2018) examines the complexity of living between multiple cultures in Australia. Join artist Moorina Bonini and SAM Curator Belinda Briggs as they discuss the artwork and the multifaceted perspectives that contribute to the construction of Australian identity.

SAM Talks: Drawing Wall #39

with Troy Firebrace 

Join Yorta Yorta artist Troy Firebrace and SAM Curator Belinda Briggs as they discuss the dual contexts of SAM Drawing Wall #39.
 
Troy uses layers of meaning within his work, encouraging his audience to look again. 

At a first glance, we might recognise the familiar imagery of a dry riverbed in the summer sun—upon closer inspection, however, we discover some of the complexities of living in the modern world. 

Learn how Troy uses art as a tool to educate students and audiences about Aboriginal culture in this SAM Talks: Drawing Wall #39.
