This resource is a permanent archive of artist and project profiles from 'The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art', a free exhibition that ran at QAGOMA from 30 Nov 2024 to 27 Apr 2025.
Seventy artists, collectives and projects from more than 30 countries featured in the 11th chapter of the flagship QAGOMA exhibition series. Bringing compelling new art to Brisbane, the Triennial is a gateway to the rapidly evolving artistic expression of Australia, Asia and the Pacific. Alongside artists and makers whose work has not been previously seen in Australia are a raft of new co-curated projects investigating artforms and cultural contexts rarely encountered outside their home localities.
For the first time, the Triennial included creators from Saudi Arabia, Timor-Leste and Uzbekistan. First Nations, minority and diaspora cultures held a central place in the exhibition, as did the collective, performative and community-driven modes of artmaking that thrive in the region. Through nuanced approaches to storytelling, materials and technique, the Asia Pacific Triennial explores themes that resonate across these cultural landscapes, such as how we care for the natural and urban environments, protect and revive cultural heritage, and how histories of migration and labour shape experience today.
