Join us for a conversation with renowned artists D Harding, Hayley Millar Baker, and Jeanine Leane. This special event offers a unique opportunity to hear from three powerful voices in contemporary art and storytelling.
Arrive early to view D Hardings newly launched project, Places adorning the walls of MAMA’s Atrium, Hayley Millar Baker’s new curatorial project, Inhabit our Everything / Nothing, and the new iteration of Jeanine Leane’s poem Nginha. These works mark the next phase of the nginha artisitic program, an artistic program celebrating the first decade of MAMA in three seasons.
About the Artists
D Harding works in a wide variety of media to explore the visual and social languages of their communities as cultural continuum. A descendant of the Bidjara, Ghungalu and Garingbal peoples, they draw upon and maintain the spiritual and philosophical sensibilities of their cultural inheritance within the framework of contemporary art internationally.
Hayley Millar Baker’s work is deeply influenced by her Aboriginality, belonging to the Gunditjmara, Djabwurrung, and Nira-BulokTaungurung peoples through her maternal lineage, and Anglo-Indian and Portuguese Brazilian ancestry on her paternal side. This union of cultural influences shapes her perspective, grounding her practice in the exploration of Indigenous resilience and the empowerment of ancestral connection.
Jeanine Leane belongs to the Wiradjuri people from the Murrumbidgee river. She is a poet, teacher, author and essayist who is well published in the areas of Aboriginal writing, writing difference and literary criticism.
