NGV Annual Appeal

This year, the NGV is seeking your support to help us add Yayoi Kusama’s extraordinary work, Narcissus Garden to the Gallery’s Collection.

Support the appeal

NGV curator Meg Slater leads a conversation with leaders within Australia’s creative community that takes Kusama’s experimental and visionary engagement with fashion, from her radical designs of the late 1960s to her more recent collaborations with brands including Issey Miyake (2000) and Louis Vuitton (2012, 2023), as the starting point to explore fashion as a source of liberation – from the 1960s through to today.   

Auslan interpretation available on request. Please email your request to programs@ngv.vic.gov.au, allowing a minimum of one week’s notice.


Presented as part of the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Independent Programme.
