Artist to Artist Talks Knowledge In Motion
Today’s artists, in conversation, here and now.
Looking up, looking around, looking right side up, looking upside down. Artist to Artist is conceived as a series of insights – short, sharp conversations that offer fresh perspectives on local and global cultures.
Over the course of one year, an intergenerational roster of Australian and international artists will participate in a series of conversations – each one unmoderated – in evenings that fizz with possibility.
From conversations that centre the capacity of music to heal, experimentation in design thinking, the loss of indigenous knowledge, and art as a means for healing, resistance and solidarity, artists are invited to inhabit the driver’s seat, setting the tone and tempo of the discussions that aim to sideswipe, whiplash and malfunction assumed knowledge – challenging us to look harder, further and deeper into what we understand about the world today.

Micheal Do, Senior Curator, Contemporary ArtThese artists ask us to lift the moral floor, to stay clear eyed and alert, and most importantly, to confront, head on, while remaining tender, the rapidly shifting world we live in today. It gives me great pleasure to introduce Artist to Artist to Sydney, a city that hungers for ideas that are global and grand.
