About
Join Wiradjuri artist Joel Bray for an in-depth conversation exploring his work 'Giraaru galing gaanhagirri', a multi-channel video installation commissioned and presented as part of the National Gallery of Australia, 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony.
About the artist:
An artist living in Naarm (Melbourne), Joel Bray is a proud Wiradjuri man whose practice springs from his cultural heritage. His works are intimate encounters in unorthodox spaces, in which audience-members are invited in as co-storytellers to explore the experiences of fair-skinned Aboriginal people, and the experiences of contemporary gay men in an increasingly digital and isolated world. His body becomes the intersection site of those songlines- Indigenous heritage, skin-colour and queer sexuality.
