Flow: A Dialogue Between Chinese & Australian Women Artists

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, China Cultural Center in Sydney collaborates with renowned Australian curator Nicholas Tsoutas to present the Dialogue between Chinese and Australian Women Artists for the fourth time. With Flow as the theme and through diverse mediums such as painting, installation, video and sculpture, the exhibition invites five Chinese and Australian indigenous female artists, including Gao Rong, Jingwei Bu, Mimi Tong, Jennifer Herd, and Joanne Currie Nalingu, to engage in dialogue to illustrate their thoughts about history and culture, the changing times and humanistic spirits from a female perspective and to explore the unique role of knowledge, art and culture in the cross-cultural exchange.

As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “All living things should flourish without harming each other; all ways of life should thrive without hindering each other.” Knowledge, art, and culture serve as the best vehicles for different cultures to communicate. By treating each other equally, exchanging and mutual learning, being inclusive and sharing, we will undoubtedly promote the diverse flourishing of the world cultural garden. This exhibition will once again showcase the consciousness and spiritual pursuits of contemporary women artists, enrich China-Australia artistic exchanges and enhance cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
