Bridging Divides: How public galleries unite communities through art and culture
Bridging Divides: How public galleries unite communities through art and culture
Thursday 6 Mar 2025, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Public galleries play a vital role in fostering connection, dialogue and understanding across diverse communities. Delivered in partnership with Jewish Museum of Australia, this forum explores innovative ways galleries are bridging divides through inclusive programming, collaborative storytelling and cultural engagement. Presenters will share insights on engaging artists with intellectual disabilities, exploring family histories, fostering partnerships across multicultural museums and interrogating history to understand its impact on the present. Join us for thought-provoking discussions on how galleries can serve as catalysts for unity, resilience, and social change.
PRESENTERS:
Danielle Brustman, Designer
Anthony Fitzpatrick, Curator, TarraWarra Museum of Art
Noe Harsel, Director & CEO, Jewish Museum of Australia
Hamish Sawyer, Curator, Linden New Art
Additional presenters to be announced.
The forum will be followed by morning tea and the opportunity for attendees to continue the conversation and connect with the presenters.
