HOME: Reframing the Collection

  • The Australia Pavilion Venice, Veneto, 30100 Italy (map)

HOME invites audiences to physically interact with all objects and materiality with gentle and respectful hands, in recognition of the harm that can be caused when communities are physically restricted from interacting with cultural belongings.

At the intersection of design, artistic and curatorial practice, what are the possibilities to redefine access, knowledge and agency within cultural collections?

SPEAKERS
Daniel Boyd
Daniel Boyd

Daniel Boyd is one of Australia's most acclaimed young artists. Boyd’s practice is internationally recognised for its manifold engagement with the colonial history of the Australia-Pacific region. Drawing upon intermingled discourses of science, religion and aesthetics, his work reveals the complexity of perspectives through which political, cultural and personal memory is composed.

Boyd has both Aboriginal and Pacific Islander heritage and his work traces this cultural and visual ancestry in relation to the broader history of Western art.
