Archie Moore

Artists' Artists is a podcast where contemporary artists shed light on works of art from the national collection that inspire, move or intrigue them. Archie Moore was born in 1970 in Toowoomba, Queensland and is of Kamilaroi and Bigambul heritage. He works across media in conceptual, research-based portrayals of self and national histories. His ongoing interests include key signifiers of identity (skin, language, smell, home, genealogy, flags), the borders of intercultural understanding and misunderstanding and the wider concerns of racism. In 2024, Moore represented Australia at the Venice Biennale; his exhibition, kith and kin was awarded the Golden Lion for best National Participation. The National Gallery has collected Moore’s work in depth since 2012.
