APT9 performance/ Women's Wealth

DELVE DEEPER into APT9 https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/catego... SUBSCRIBE to be the first to go behind-the-scenes/ Women from the Brisbane Bougainville Community Group Inc. perform a range of dances from across the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. The women are supported by Bougainville men creating the dynamic rhythmic sounds of the traditional bamboo band, but using PVC pipes and flip-flops.

Women’s Wealth is an art project that engages with the ongoing importance and richness of women’s creativity within the predominantly matrilineal societies of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and nearby provinces of the Solomon Islands.

The project was launched on Buka Island in April 2017 and presented during APT9.

Exclusive to QAGOMA, the latest chapter in the Gallery’s flagship exhibition series 'The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' includes new and recent work by more than 80 emerging and established artists and collectives from more than 30 countries. APT presents a wonderful opportunity for visual artists from across Australia and the Asia Pacific to collaborate and share works that are a powerful expression of their cultures and experiences.

Free, and curated for audiences of all ages, 'The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' (APT9) is presented across the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) and Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).
