Radical imaginings: Feminism, protest, and cultural power

About
Spanning five decades of feminist cultural work, this panel brings together powerhouses whose practices have reshaped the art world from the ground up: Kyla McFarlane and Meredith Rogers, alongside curator and institutional leader Kelly Gellatly, and artist/activist Elvis Richardson, founder of Countess Report.Together, they will explore the role of feminist protest in shaping Australia’s cultural institutions, from radical performance and publishing in the 1970s to today’s battles for representation, equity, and structural change. The conversation will weave personal memory with political insight, considering how protest has functioned not just on the streets—but within the archive, the exhibition, and the image itself.
