Artist Insider: Namila Benson

Artist Insider: Namila Benson

For our latest Artist Insider video, we talk to Namila Benson, journalist, broadcaster and host of The Art Show on ABC Radio National. Namila talks about her artist interviews for NIRIN, the depiction of black bodies, how a boat united many communities, and why the 22nd Biennale of Sydney is a gamechanger.

After closing in March 2020 due to Coronavirus, NIRIN reopened to the public on June 1, and will run until October. Exhibition venues are Artspace, Cockatoo Island, Campbelltown Art Centre, Art Gallery of NSW and Museum of Contemporary Art.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) starts today! As part of our NAS NRW program, we invite you to a special screening of the documentary 'Kindred' (2023) in our Cell Block Theatre. The directors Gillian Moody and Adrian Russell Wills will be joining us for the screening.

'There's the black world, and then there's the white world. I felt walking in each of them was complicated enough. To bring those together would just make it even harder.' (Kindred: Trailer)

'Kindred' is a deeply personal feature-length documentary that delves into the emotional landscape of family, love, and loss through the eyes of two close friends.'
