Artist Insider: Namila Benson

Interviews NAS Connect News

Artist Insider: Namila Benson

by

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.

Watch the full interview linked below.
