Deadline:

10 May
State Library of Queensland

Join us for our first Portrait of an artist event for 2024, featuring internationally acclaimed contemporary artist D Harding in conversation with Cheryl Leavy.

D Harding works in a wide variety of media to explore the visual and social languages of their communities as cultural continuum. A descendant of the Bidjara, Ghungalu and Garingbal peoples, they draw upon and maintain the spiritual and philosophical sensibilities of their cultural inheritance within the framework of contemporary art internationally. Often paying homage to or involving family members, Harding’s work seeks new forms for sharing materials and knowledges.

In July 2019 Harding was awarded a Doctorate of Visual Arts from Queensland College of Art, Griffith University. They are currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at QCA and their work can be found in the collections of major national and international institutions.

Portrait of an artist is a series of events that brings to life the James C. Sourris AM Collection of Artist Interviews, where esteemed Australian artists and their craft are captured in State Library’s collections.

 

Event: Fri 10 May · 6:30–7:30pm

 

Learn more about the Portrait of an artist series and revisit previous events featuring an astonishing line-up of Queensland artists. This event will feature a screening of D Harding’s interview from the James C. Sourris AM Collection of Artist Interviews, followed by a Q&A session facilitated by Cheryl Leavy.

Generously supported by James C. Sourris AM through Queensland Library Foundation.
