This live webinar introduces a new resource ‘Risk Assessment and Management for Exhibition Content‘ developed by NETS Victoria and Museums and Galleries of NSW aimed to assist with curatorial risk management. The session will reflect upon exhibitions’ intent to incite conversation, new ideas and debate, while asking the question – what happens when exhibitions contain content that could be perceived to be controversial, provocative or have the potential to offend certain members of the community, audience or stakeholder groups? This session investigates ‘Conflict In My Outlook’ a current exhibition curated by Anna Briers which navigated this type of curatorial risk and brings together Chair Adam Harding, of CCP; Presenters Anna Briers, Curator, University of Queensland Art Museum; Artist Xanthe Dobbie; and Rachel Arndt, Gallery Programs and Touring Exhibitions Manager, Museums and Galleries of NSW. Join in to hear how the art community can express themselves freely, explore sensitive topics and push boundaries to incite meaningful conversations, while managing the risk process.⁣

First Nations people have occupied and cared for t

First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years, their sovereignty has never been ceded. This year's NAIDOC theme 'Always Was, Always Will Be' celebrates the hundreds of Nations and cultures that make up this continent. NETS Victoria is committed to delivering public programs developed by First Nations Artists and Curators, a relationship that is above all, a privilege. We live and work everyday on Aboriginal land so to know the land we walk on is to better know ourselves.
