Talk with Troy Casey

This enlightening session was presented from 11am Saturday 14 September 2024 at Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts in Gurambilbarra / Townsville, in conjunction with Judy Watson's ‘skeletons’ exhibition on display (13 September - 27 October 2024): www.umbrella.org.au/skeletons

Troy spoke about his creative and social impact work across First Nations-led enterprises Blaklash (an Aboriginal design consultancy specialising in Country-centred design and cultural placemaking), Magpie Goose (where fashion and social impact comes together) and Aboriginal Art Co (connecting consumers with authentic and ethically sourced Indigenous art). The work across these businesses spans art, architecture, design and clothing.

‘skeletons’ is curated by Amanda Hayman of Blaklash, supported by Milani Gallery, and commissioned by Queensland State Archives. Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and the North Australian Festival of Arts (NAFA) are the presenting partners for the exhibition.
