Overview

The next chapter in QAGOMA’s flagship exhibition series will feature 70 projects from across Australia, Asia, and the Pacific, showcasing work by over 200 artists, makers, and thinkers.

Across QAG and GOMA, ‘The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ will reflect the region’s social and cultural diversity. It draws on a wealth of cultural expression and includes artists making their Australian debut. The artists consider knowledge in various forms, exploring themes such as care for natural and urban environments, intergenerational experiences of migration and labor, and nuanced storytelling through materials and techniques. First Nations, minority, and diaspora cultures play a crucial role in this Triennial, highlighting the collective, performative, and community-driven artmaking thriving in the region.

Building on three decades of engagement with Asia and the Pacific, this eleventh chapter is developed by a team of QAGOMA curators in collaboration with co-curators, advisors, and interlocutors from the region and South-East Queensland communities.

The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial will feature live performances, public discussions, cinema programs, and activities for young visitors, along with ongoing community engagement and research partnerships, complemented by a fully illustrated publication and newly commissioned digital essays for the Asia Pacific Art Papers series.
