SUMMARY:Artist Talk - Neerja Peters
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NERAM for an in conversation between exhibiting artist Neerja Peters and NERAM Director Rachael Parsons as they discuss Peter’s current exhibition Ley Lines. \nNew Delhi based artist Neerja Peters finds creating paintings through geometry and colour articulation contemplative and meditative. Her distinct visual language evokes synaesthesia\, perceiving beyond what is evident\, leading the viewer to self-discovery\, soul awakening\, and divine knowledge. Ley Lines\, Peter’s first exhibition in Australia\, presents several bodies of work and includes drawing\, painting and artist books\, that demonstrates Peter’s spiritual expression through abstract geometry. \n\n \nImage credit: Neerja Peters\, The Self 8\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Packsaddle Lecture: Jackie Dunn - Alphonse Mucha: Spirit of Art Nouveau
DESCRIPTION:For the 2024 FT Wimble Lecture on Printmaking\, join Jackie Dunn\, Senior curator of exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and co-curator of their current Alphonse Mucha: Spirit of Art Nouveau exhibition\, to explore the life and work of one of art’s great stylistic innovators\, Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939). Through his lithographic posters and illustrations\, Mucha created some of the most instantly recognisable and best-loved works in modern European art: the seductive\, sinuous compositions that formed a new language and defined the look of late 19th-century Paris. But Mucha was also a mystic philosopher and activist for the liberation of his homeland\, today’s Czech Republic. Together we’ll take a journey through his rich career to uncover the artist behind the famous images. \nYour ticket includes a welcome glass of sparkling wine. \nJackie Dunn is Senior curator of exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. She is co-curator of the 2024 Alphonse Mucha: Spirit of Art Nouveau exhibition. Other major exhibitions she has curated for the Art Gallery include\, in 2023\, Kandinsky\, from the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Desmond Lazaro’s Point and Line to Plane\, and Georgiana Houghton: Invisible Friends. In 2021 she co-curated Matisse: Life & Spirit\, Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, as well as the associated gallery-wide contemporary art responses\, Matisse Alive. That year she was also facilitating curator of Franklin Sirmans’ international video exhibition\, Family: Visions of a Shared Humanity. In 2019\, her Dora Ohlfsen and the Facade Commission led to a new commission for the Art Gallery’s heritage frontage and\, in 2018\, she curated The Lady and the Unicorn\, from the Musée de Cluny\, Paris. \n  \nThe Packsaddle Lecture Series invites leading guest speakers to explore aspects of Australian and international artistic practices and history. These informative and entertaining talks provide the community with an opportunity to explore themes and ideas related to some of our key collection areas. The annual lecture series includes the Howard Hinton Lecture on art history\, the Chandler Coventry Lecture on contemporary art and the F.T. Wimble Lecture on printing history and art. \n\n \nImage: Alphonse Mucha Reverie 1898 © Mucha Trust 2024\, colour lithograph\, 72.7 x 55.2 cm.\n

SUMMARY:Winter Blooming Festival
DESCRIPTION:WINTER BLOOMING IS A FESTIVAL THAT CELEBRATES FIRST NATIONS\, MULTICULTURAL\, LGBTQA+ ARTS\, CULTURE\, COMMUNITIES AND ALLIES. THE FESTIVAL IS AN INCLUSIVE EVENT  THAT SUPPORTS DIVERSITY AND IS OPEN TO ALL.\n\n \nFRIDAY 16TH\n6.00pm – 8.00pm\nOpening Night and Festival Launch \nJoin us for the opening of three new exhibitions Rainbow: Alun Rhys Jones\, Neerja Peters: Ley Lines & Fantastical Scenes: Queering the Collection and the official launch of the 2024 Winter Blooming Festival. This event will include the Launch of the University of New England Allyship report: \nBeing Myself at UNE: A report of the UNE Allyship steering committee \nThe launch of Being myself at UNE is the culmination of work that began with a university-wide survey in Nov 2021 which invited UNE staff\, students and alumni to share their experiences of inclusion\, both as people of diverse sexualities and gender identities\, and the wider UNE community. The survey findings and report form the cornerstone of efforts to acknowledge and support LGBTQIA+ people online and on campus\, as well as strategies and vision for building more inclusive spaces and communities. Please join us for the launch and a discussion of some key findings. \n______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nSATURDAY 17TH\n11.00AM – 12.00 PM\nIn Conversation: Omar Sakr and Rob Waters – Art as Resistance: How we use poetry and story telling in oppressive circumstances.    \nOmar Sakr does not have a bio in the genocide. \nRob Waters is a Gomeroi man with deep cultural connections to the North West of NSW. He is the 2023 Australian Poetry Slam Champion\, a proud father and grandfather and now lives with his partner on Darkinjung Country. Rob is a poet\, storyteller\, cultural educator and spoken word artist who has been performing and sharing Story for over 20 years. \n\n12.00 – 1.00pm\nPanel – Re-remembering queer histories through objects\, archives and stories\nSpeakers: Marina Jansen\, Dr Ariella Van Luyn & Jody Ekert \n‘Queer has always been here’ is a powerful idea that demonstrates the importance of the past to queer movements. But historical queer lives are not always visible. Compulsory heterosexuality\, the assumption that a person is heterosexual unless proven otherwise\, has meant biographers and historians sometimes overemphasise the need for proof of same sex relationships. The concern that imposing contemporary identities and terms on to past lives also means gender non-conformity goes unrecognised. This panel will explore the ways writers\, historians and artists can re-remember queer lives and read between the lives of archives and other historical narratives. \nMarina Jansen is a Melbourne based historian at Heritage Victoria and will discuss the challenges of finding surviving material culture (buildings and objects) related to queer people in the past. \nDr Ariella Van Luyn is an academic in creative writing at UNE\, and writes and researches queer historical fiction. She explores how contemporary artists and writers reimagine queer lives. Ariella is the curator of Fantastical Scenes: Queering the Collection\, that draws on NERAM’s collection from a queer perspective. \nJody Ekert  is a community advocate and events organizer from Tamworth. Her recent focus is on Tamworth queer history and the work of Vernon Marshall\, a German figure from the 70s. She has relaunched his work with the Hey Vernon project\, 50 years later. Jody is passionate about uncovering forgotten queer history\, fostering connections\, storytelling\, and supporting small town queer groups through their advocacy and events. \n \n\n1.00PM – 2.00PM\nLUNCH BREAK\n\n2.00PM – 5.00PM\nWorkshop Sessions – workshop tickets sold separately (not included in your festival pass)\nStill Life Drawing with Alun Rhys Jones – 2.00 – 5.00pm \nJoin artist Alun Rhys Jones in this engaging workshop that will focus on still life drawing.
