APT10 at QAGOMA explores Indigenous futurism and regional dialogues through 69 projects

The Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane is currently hosting the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT10), featuring 69 projects from artists across more than 30 nations until 25 April 2022. Curated by Tarun Nagesh, Reuben Keehan, and Ruth McDougall, the exhibition includes highlights such as Between the Earth and Sky and the Yolngu/Macassan Project. Significant pieces are Salote Tawale's raft No Locations (2021) and Bani Abidi's sound installation commemorating Indian soldiers from WWI. APT10 explores regional histories and environmental challenges while advocating for indigenous sovereignty perspectives, set against the backdrop of geopolitical issues like the USA's Indo-Pacific strategy and Australia's AUKUS agreement, emphasizing community-driven initiatives and cultural knowledge sharing.
