Join the Creative Directors of the Australian Pavilion as they share their vision for the 2025 Venice Biennale.
HOME is an immersive and culturally rich experience, deeply rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems and architectural innovation. Led by Dr. Michael Mossman, Emily McDaniel, and Jack Gillmer (Lilley), alongside a Creative Sphere of First Nations architects and practitioners, the project explores “home” as a convergence of memory, sensation, relationships, and future.
Blending natural and artificial elements, the pavilion design prioritizes sustainability, community engagement, and profound connections with Country.
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the team shaping Australia’s presence at the world’s most prestigious architecture exhibition.
