ISPT has partnered with the National Gallery to celebrate contemporary First Nations Culture through the 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony. This is the National Gallery’s flagship exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal and Torrres Strait Islander art and we’re honoured to be bringing it to life in ISPT properties.

National Art Talk Series
ISPT will be hosting a series of Art Talk events across 5 capital cities and 14 ISPT properties across Australia, with in-person and virtual experiences available. Attendees will have private access to featured artists, curators and special guests who will reveal how Ceremony is at the nexus of Country, of culture and of Community.

Letitia Hope, Workplace Partnership Manager says:

“Our partnership with the National Gallery builds on the promise we made with our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan – to listen, learn from and work with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on positive steps towards a more reconciled Australia. We’re honoured to extend the reach of this exhibition and share it with our building communities.

We’re always looking for new ways to enrich the experience of being in an ISPT building, and we hope our customers and communities take this opportunity to attend an Art Talk and learn more about the rich cultural history of First Nation’s people.”

We’ll be live-streaming each event to building communities, so everyone in an ISPT building has the opportunity to take part. The Art Talk Series  kicks off at Central Plaza, Brisbane on Wednesday, 20 April.

The 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony is on at the National Gallery, Kalbarri/Canberra from 25 March to 31 July 2022.
