Conversation Space: With Artist Zanny Begg

Conversation Space: With Artist Zanny Begg

Starts: Sunday, 05 May 2024
Ends: Sunday, 05 May 2024
The Glasshouse Regional Gallery presents a series of exhibition-specific Artist and Curator talks. This program provides a unique opportunity for the community to engage with some of Australia’s leading artists and curators and inspire life-long learning. Join Australian artist and filmmaker Zanny Begg as she discusses her exhibition, These Stories Will be Different. Zanny Begg is an artist and filmmaker living in Bulli, on Dharawal land. She uses film, drawing and installation to explore hidden and contested histories, and examines different ways in which we can live and exist in the world. Through her practice, Begg has explored macro-political themes such as alter-globalisation protests, and micro-political worlds, such as children in maximum-security prisons. Begg has a PhD in Art Theory, with a focus on the socially engaged art that emerged between the 1999 World Trade Organisation Protests in Seattle and the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. She was the Director of Tin Sheds Gallery within the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Sydney (2010-2014), and a lecturer at UNSW Art and Design (2014-2020), where she created a unit on Socially Engaged Art. In 2018 Begg was the winner of the ACMI Film Commission for her work, The Beehive. Bookings are essential.
