About
‘sis’ investigates three decades of art-making from a sisterhood of artists from across Oceania, drawing from the QAGOMA Collection. Important figures, often largely unknown outside their homelands, will be highlighted, alongside established artists, to create an expanded vision of the art of Oceania since the early 1990s. The exhibition will include textiles, ceramics, photography, moving image, sculpture, installation and performance.
