‘kith and kin’ was awarded the Golden Lion for Best National Participation at La Biennale de Venezia 2024. The artwork was gifted to the QAGOMA and Tate by Creative Australia on behalf of the Australian Government 2024. This presentation will be the first time the kith and kin has been exhibited since its debut in Venice, Italy.

First Nations Peoples of Australia are among the oldest continuous living cultures on earth; Archie Moore’s kith and kin affirms this by tracing the artist’s Kamilaroi and Bigambul relations over 65,000+ years. The artist’s extensive drawing captures the common ancestors of all humans alongside animals, plants, waterways and landforms in order to emphasise our kinship responsibilities to each other and our surroundings.

Entry is free.
