Join Quandamooka artist, Megan Cope in conversation with Nina Miall, Curator, International Art, QAGOMA about her artwork, Whispers Wall 2023 on display in ‘Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses’.
Cope’s sculptural installation makes reference to the ancestral middens that were built from the accumulated shell waste of Australia’s First Nations people over thousands of years. A rich hanging tapestry in three parts, it suggests a monumental underwater architecture that has been transplanted to the Gallery from the ocean. Now standing on Kurilpa Point – a traditional meeting place for the local Aboriginal people – the work connects shared narratives and kinships to the saltwater world.
Time: 1.00 – 1.30pm
