Exhibition space

Ground Level

Celebrating the opening of the new ground floor display at NGV Australia Wurrdha Marra, join three exhibiting artists to discuss their work and practices.

Wurrdha Marra means ‘Many Mobs’ in the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung language. The name comes to the NGV from the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation and supports the purpose of this space in sharing the work of First Nations artists. For First Nations peoples around the world, art and design are part of a continuum where the past intersects with the present, different materials converge, and diverse perspectives come together.

Please note Marlene Gilson will no longer be able to participate in this program.

Kent Morris is a Barkindji artist living on Yalukit Willam Country. Through a variety of digital and three-dimensional processes, Kent engages audiences by manipulating the built environment, technology and nature into new forms that reflect Indigenous knowledge systems reshaping western frameworks, exploring complex histories and First Nations cultural continuity since time immemorial. Kent’s work provides a considered space for the exchange of stories, histories, images and insights, and gives visual representation to that which is often unseen. His art practice explores identity, connection to place and the continuing evolution of cultural practices whilst engaging audiences to question long held frames of reference.
