Artists' Artists: Warraba Weatherall

Warraba Weatherall is an artist, lecturer and cultural scholar. His research-led practice seeks to regenerate Kamilaroi knowledge systems and critique museum and archival practices. Weatherall’s sculptures and installations appear minimal yet open complex dialogues on surveillance, incarceration, power and control. Weatherall has exhibited across Australia and internationally, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney in 2025. Along with Tony Albert, Weatherall is also a member of the Aboriginal arts collective, proppaNOW. Weatherall’s work is featured in the 5th National Indigenous Art Triennial: After the Rain, which opens at the National Gallery of Australia in December. Works of art discussed:Archie Moore, Kamilaroi/Bigambul peoples, Family Tree 2021, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, purchased in celebration of the National Gallery of Australia's 40th anniversary, 2022, © Archie Moore Guan Wei, Under the Southern Cross, 1999, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, © Arc One Gallery, on behalf of Guan WeiJenny Holzer, Inflammatory Essays, 1978–83, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, purchased 1986, © Jenny Holzer/Copyright AgencyJeffrey Smart, On the Roof, Taylor Square, 1961, National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, purchased 1969, © The Estate of Jeffrey SmartSeries Information:This series was produced by AudiocraftTheme Music by Ravi GuptaSegment Music is Hold Tight by Thalia Skopellos from Melodie Music5th National Indigenous Art Triennial: After the Rain exhibition identity by Aretha Brown Hosted on Acast.
