About
Delve deeper into QAGOMA exhibitions and displays at our monthly Members lecture then catch up with friends over a two-course lunch on the Roof Terrace at GOMA. Hear from Ruth McDougall, Curator, Pacific Art, as she introduces the exhibition ‘Kin’, which explores the ways in which contemporary artists in Papua New Guinea draw on traditional kinship structures to create families of support and inspiration for their work. This lecture will look at key works and relationships within the exhibition, delving into the work of Chimbu artist Mathias Kauage alongside those of his family members, and the village that follows him; the kinship structures that exist between key Omie artists from Oro Province; and the familial ties binding members of the Haus Yuriyal collective, led by Yuriyal E Bridgeman. Lecture only tickets may be available. $59 Members, $68 Members’ guests / Includes a glass of wine and a two-course lunch (main and dessert).
