This March, we unpick the theme of Wear and Tear, revealing the stories, inspiration and cultural significance of the items that adorn us, uncovering how time, use and the body leave their mark.
Take a seat with Amanda Hayman and Troy Casey, Directors of First Nations creative agency Blaklash, and explore the future of Country-centered design and cultural placemaking.
With a creative portfolio boasting a host of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island enterprises, including Magpie Goose and Aboriginal Art Co, the couple are tearing down barriers and reshaping the fields of art, fashion and design.
Join Amanda and Troy for this Friday Art Talk hosted within their installation reflection space ALWAYS remember the rain, as they share their vision to embed First Nations knowledge into contemporary design, creating spaces of reflection, connection and cultural continuity. Hosted by the National Gallery’s First Nations Lead Artist Educator, Maggie Douglas.
