Guests
Ivan Harbour is an architect and senior partner at international architecture firm RSHP. He began his career on Lloyd’s of London and subsequently led the design of the European Court of Human Rights and Bordeaux Law Courts.
Two of Ivan’s projects – Terminal 4 Barajas Airport Madrid (2006) and Maggie’s West London (2009) – have won the Stirling Prize, the most prestigious architectural award in the UK. Ivan’s work spans many building types, from airports to low-cost housing, where the designs share a common belief that successful buildings pay the greatest respect to those that use them.
Abdul Abdullah is a seventh-generation Muslim Australian of mixed ethnicity who grew up in suburban Perth, and now lives in Bangkok.
His multi-disciplinary practice is motivated by a longstanding concern for the complex feelings of displacement and alienation associated with histories of diaspora and migration.
Providing a voice for these difficult topics, he creates carefully crafted political commentaries that speak of the ‘Other’ and the experiences of marginalised communities.
Abdullah has been part of numerous exhibitions at Australian institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
In 2019, he was awarded the inaugural Australian Muslim Artist Art Prize.
Maree Clarke is a contemporary artist and Yorta Yorta / Wamba Wamba / Mutti Mutti / Boonwurrung woman who grew up in Mildura and now lives in Melbourne.
She is a pivotal figure in the reclamation of southeast Australian Aboriginal art practices, reviving elements of Aboriginal culture that were lost – or laying dormant – due to colonization, and exploring the customary ceremonies, rituals and language of her ancestors.
She has had many solo and group exhibitions, and her work is held in all major private and public collections in Australia as well as internationally.
