kith and kin: in conversation with Archie Moore, Ellie Buttrose and Grace Lucas-Pennington
In April 2024, Kamilaroi and Bigambul artist Archie Moore’s exhibition kith and kin at the Australia Pavilion was awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Best National Participation at La Biennale de Venezia 2024. This is the first time that an Australian artist has received this accolade.
In kith and kin, Moore transforms the Australia Pavilion with the artist’s expansive, genealogical chart spanning 65,000 years. kith and kin is commissioned by Creative Australia and curated by UQ alum (Bachelor of Arts ’07) Ellie Buttrose.
In celebration of this historic moment, please join Ellie Buttrose (Curator, Contemporary Australian Art, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art) in conversation with artist Archie Moore and Bundjalung editor and poet Grace Lucas-Pennington. Together, they will discuss Moore’s exhibition kith and kin and the unparalleled experiences that led them to Venice; of community, kinship, and the infinite relations that connect us all.
Hosted in the UQ Art Museum, doors will open at 4:30pm with the talk commencing at 5pm. Following the talk, please join us for refreshments.
