A four-episode series that delves into the stories, works and artists in the NGV’s globally significant collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and design. Inspired by the new ground floor galleries Wurrdha Marra, located at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, the podcast series features interviews between Armstrong and trailblazing figures of First Peoples creativity who are challenging stereotypes and pushing contemporary discourse into new and surprising contexts. These include Destiny Deacon, Tony Albert, Keemon Williams and Amrita Hepi. Further conversations with NGV’s Director Tony Ellwood AM, Senior Curator Myles Russell-Cook and Curator of Australian and First Nations Art Sophie Gerhard, the podcast contextualises the breadth and diversity of First Peoples art and design; how it has developed over 65,000 years; and the wealth of disciplines utilised by practitioners today.

    In the final episode of the series, Armstrong interviews artist and choreographer Amrita Hepi, whose work challenges societal definitions of intelligence and the standards of Western knowledge systems, while inviting a reflection on language. Hepi joins Armstrong via Zoom from the Northern Hemisphere, for a conversation about ethics, intelligence, and ultimately, how the way we treat others says more about us than them.

    Ep. 3 Illuminating Histories with Tony Albert and Keemon Williams
    Oct 25 2023
    Armstrong talks to contemporary artists Tony Albert and Keemon Williams, whose works both look to reframe First Nations histories in different ways by appropriating found materials, language, and symbols of their culture. Williams is the youngest artist in the Wurrdha Marra exhibition, while Albert is a senior figure in the art world, known for using what he calls ‘Aboriginalia’ in his work. Both artists explore the intersection of queerness with Aboriginality, with a particular fondness for the aesthetics of camp.
