Australia | 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art
Seventy artists, collectives and projects from more than 30 countries will feature in the 11th chapter of the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) exhibition series, the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, from 30 November 2024 to 27 April 2025, in Brisbane, Australia.
Across QAG and GOMA, ‘The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ will reflect the region’s social and cultural diversity, drawing on a wealth of cultural expression. Asia Pacific Triennial artists consider knowledge in its many forms, following thematic threads such as care for natural and urban environments, intergenerational experiences of migration and labour, and nuanced approaches to storytelling, materials and technique. First Nations, minority and diaspora cultures are crucial to the Asia Pacific Triennial, and the exhibition highlights the collective, performative and community-driven artmaking that thrives in the region.
Building on three decades of engagement in Asia and the Pacific, this eleventh chapter is developed by a team of QAGOMA curators working with co-curators, advisors and interlocutors from across the region and in South-East Queensland communities.
The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial will be accompanied by live performance, public discussions, cinema programmes and projects for young visitors, along with ongoing community engagement activities and research partnerships, as well as a fully illustrated publication and newly commissioned digital essays for the Asia Pacific Art Papers series.
