The 2010 Arts Conference, 22-25 July, University of Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts, will be hosting a Special Exhibition, proppaNOW: Women Artists, Women’s Business.
The exhibition, proppaNOW: Women Artists, Women’s Business, features the art works of proppaNOW Aboriginal Artists Collective’s Brisbane-based members Jennifer Herd, Bianca Beetson and Andrea Fisher. The exhibition presents the artists’ innovative approaches to Aboriginal Art and contemporary urban expressions that situate Indigenous women’s art as central to Australian art history and national culture. Fresh from the Putsch exhibit at Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, proppaNOW artists look to overthrow institutionalized racism, stereotypes, urban myths and romanticised views of contemporary Indigenous art.
The artists will speak at the Arts Conference on Friday, July 23rd, as part of a panel in conversation with Professors Tressa Berman and Pat Hoffie.
