The 10th Asia Pacific Triennial Of Contemporary Art (APT10) comes to a close at Queensland Art Gallery / Gallery Of Modern Art (QAGOMA) this April with a two-day festival.

“Visitors can catch pop-up performances by the Brisbane Pride Choir and APT10 artist Brian Fuata; drop by the story garden featuring APT10 artist Gordon Hookey, writers Nadine Chemali and Sandhya Parappukkaran and members of The Pacific Climate Warriors; and join art-making workshops designed by APT10 artists Phuong Ngo, Shannon Novak, Vipoo Srivilasa and the Brisbane Tongan Community,” QAGOMA Director Chris Saines says.
There’ll be special guests and artists exploring the world we inhabit and the future of art. . . In talks like ‘So…where are you from?’, ‘Art Futures’, ‘Wit: A Weapon Of Mass Disruption’ and ‘I’m Not Racist But…’.
