Panel Discussion between Artists and Curators

Panel Discussion between Artists and Curators 

Wednesday 6 August, 5.30pm

Forum Theatre, Arts West Building, University of Melbourne

Please join us for a conversation between the artists and curators of the exhibition ‘Air Means Water’. Moderated by Simon Soon and including artists Patriot Mukmin (Indonesia), Megan McPherson (Australia), and curators Syaza Nisrina, Nadhila Zakira and Kathryne Honey. Hear an open conversation about the process of creating the artworks within the show and how the exhibition came together.

This event is part of Air Means Water, a transnational exhibition that navigates the porous boundaries between Indonesia, Singapore, and so-called Australia. Curated by Syaza Nisrina, Nadhila Zakira, and Kathryne Genevieve Honey, at CAVES gallery throughout the month of August. The project foregrounds shared and divergent histories of migration, colonial inheritance, and cultural identity; bringing together the work artists: Agnes Christina, Fyerool Darma, Amrita Hepi, Megan McPherson, Patriot Mukmin, and Shahmen Suku. Air Means Water examines how geopolitical borders shape contemporary life while proposing alternate modes of kinship and solidarity across distance.

Air Means Water is supported by the City of Melbourne, and the University of Melbourne through the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
