Curator's Talk - Know My Name

Head Curator, Australian Art, Dr Deborah Hart will discuss the important issues and reasons behind the Know My Name: Australian Women Artists exhibition.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists tells a new story of Australian art. Looking at moments in which women created new forms of art and cultural commentary, it highlights creative and intellectual relationships between artists across time.

The Know My Name touring exhibition follows the National Gallery’s major two-part exhibition of Australian women artists. It is part of a series of ongoing gender equity initiatives by the Gallery to increase the representation of all women in its artistic program.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia.
