In this episode, Samstag Associate Curator Anna Zagala speaks with artist Archie Moore (Kamilaroi / Bigambul) and film maker Molly Reynolds. Molly worked with Archie to produce his Samstag Museum of Art / 2024 Adelaide Film Festival moving image commission Archie Moore: Dwelling (Adelaide Issue). The exhibition is on at Samstag until 29 November 2024.

On the day the exhibition launch, they discuss their preparation for the work, how Archie’s love of films and personal history was a source of inspiration, and the curious experience of displaying personal objects, a process that has transformed them into artifacts.

The episode concludes with an address by Djon Mundine OAM delivered to an appreciative crowd in Fenn Place, outside the Samstag Museum of Art, later that afternoon.

You can hear both Djon Mundine and Archie Moore on earlier episodes of the ON ART podcast.

Dr Irene Watson (Tanganekald, Meintangk, Bunganditj and Potaruwutj) sits down with Dr Vernon Ah Kee (Kuku Yalandji, Waanji, Gugu Yimithirr and Koko Berrin) for a yarn, six years after the pair first worked together on Vernon’s commission to create an ephemeral site-specific artwork of Kaurna language words on the grounds of UniSA, City West campus. Recently refreshed, the artwork embeds Kaurna concepts, extending Vernon’s long-standing commitment to art activism and a language-based practice.

The pair talk candidly and with a great sense of mutual respect about reciprocity, justice, and the importance of speaking truth as two First Nations people contending with a settler culture that only wants to hear ‘happy’ stories.
