In the largest solo exhibition of his career to date, leading contemporary Australian artist Archie Moore will present a new commission at Griffith University Art Museum from 8 March — 21 April 2018.
Curated by Griffith University Art Museum Director Angela Goddard, Archie Moore: 1970—2018 takes the form of a multi-room installation based on a combination of recreated spaces and memories that reference Moore’s childhood, schooling and early life in rural Queensland.
The exhibition builds on concepts of history and architectural spaces explored in Moore’s previous installations ‘Whipsaw’ (2017) at TARNANTHI, Adelaide, ‘A Home Away From Home (Bennelong/Vera’s Hut)’ (2016) commissioned for the 20th Biennale of Sydney, ‘Relocating Land, Memory and Place’ (2015), at System Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, and ‘Dwelling’ (2010) at Accidentally Annie Street, Brisbane.
Visitors will be invited to enter the multilayered installation of seven rooms, created using reclaimed building materials and found items — some inspired by specific events in Moore’s early life, and others that evoke broader emotional states.
“Memory has been in all of my work somewhere,” Moore says of his almost three-decade-long practice. “I’m still intrigued by who I am, what I think I am, and the reasons why.”
Using an array of sensory effects, the artist will explore philosophical questions about personal and transgenerational memory.
“The spaces in this exhibition activate the emotive and disorienting potential of objects, architecture and other markers of place and identity,” Goddard says. “Through this work, Moore tenders the inevitable openness of memory, and sensitively contributes to conversations around empathy and perception in Australia.”
Archie Moore: 1970-2018 will be accompanied by the first monograph of Moore’s career, published by the Griffith University Art Museum.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Archie Moore
Born 1970, Toowoomba, Queensland
Lives and works in Brisbane
Archie Moore’s work explores the intersection between identity, nationhood and authenticity, regularly referring to the relationships between these concepts and the private landscape. His multidisciplinary practice questions key signifiers of identity — skin, language, smell, food, home, politics, religion, flags — and Australia’s contested histories. His practice is embedded in Aboriginal politics, the wider concerns of racism, as well as a recurrent theme of uncertainty pertaining to his Kamilaroi heritage.
Moore completed his Bachelor of Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology in 1998. In 2001, he was awarded the Millennial Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship allowing him to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. He has exhibited regularly nationally and internationally in solo and major group exhibitions including: Defying Empire: 3rd National Indigenous Art Triennial, at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra (2017); the 20th Biennale of Sydney (2016) curated by Stephanie Rosenthal; TARNANTHI – Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, Adelaide (significant solo presentations within the Festival in both 2017 and 2015).
Other group exhibitions include Sixth Sense, at NAS Galleries, Sydney (2016); Courting Blakness: Recalibrating knowledge in the Sandstone University, at The University of Queensland, Brisbane (2014); My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Australia, at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane and Auckland Art Gallery (2013 & 2014); and Mémoires Vives: Une Histoire de l’Art Aborigène, Le musée d’Aquitaine, Bordeaux (2013-2014).
In 2010, Moore was the winner of the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize, and has been shortlisted six times for the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award (2005-08, 2011, 2013). In 2013, he was invited to participate in the University of Queensland’s National Artists’ Self-Portrait Prize, for which he created his seminal work Black Dog, later acquired by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. In 2015, he was shortlisted for the Western Australian Indigenous Art Award at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
Archie Moore’s work is in the collections of Griffith University, Brisbane, Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning, UTS, Sydney; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne; Newcastle Region Art Gallery;Queensland University of Technology Art Museum, Brisbane; the University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane, and many others.
In late 2017, Moore was awarded a major public art commission for the T1 Terminal of Sydney International Airport. The permanent public artwork is the first partnership between Sydney Airport and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. When installed, the work will be a larger, site-specific version of his critically-acclaimed United Neytions flag series exhibited as part of The National: New Australian Art at Carriageworks, Sydney in 2017. The commission is due to be installed mid-2018.
In 2011, Moore began a musical collaboration, ∑gg√e|n, with fellow artist, David M. Thomas, which continues today.
Archie Moore is represented by The Commercial, Sydney.

WHERE: Griffith University Art Museum, 226 Grey Street, South Bank
TheAMP University Challenge is under way for 2018, and Griffith University students once again have the opportunity to demonstrate their superlative skills and knowledge in a practical, experience-building scenario.
Competitors in the challenge receive a hypothetical client case study, for which they have to devise a financial plan. The teams or individuals deemed to have the best responses will then be flown from around the country to attend Finals Day at AMP’s Sydney headquarters later in the year.
The finals bracket includes an intensive day of quizzes, role playing and public speaking, though the trial is well worth the effort – first-prize winners receive $5000 for their work, not to mention a wealth of practical benefits for their careers.
“Griffith is proud to offer our aspiring financial advice and financial services professionals the chance to take part again in the AMP University Challenge, which has become a key stepping stone towards building a better, more robust industry for the next generation,” AFE Head of DepartmentProfessor Mark Brimble said.
“The University has seen its student teams enjoy great success in the competition throughout the years, and I look forward to watching 2018’s entrants make similarly strong strides as they navigate the nuances and critical complexities of the challenge.
“Such experience is simply invaluable for their vocational pursuits, especially in the swiftly changing and increasingly competitive industry landscape.”
The AMP University Challenge is open to all full- or part-time Australian tertiary students.
This year, Griffith Associate Lecturer in Financial PlanningMs Leeanne Hodgson has embedded the challenge into Trimester 1 course Retirement and Estate Planning (3204AFE), and will do the same in Trimester 2 for Financial Planning, Construction and Review (3202AFE).
The statue of the female body in classical robes, holding a set of scales and a sword, has long stood as the idealised figure of Western justice. Since the seventeenth century, she has been blindfolded. What kind of meanings surround her femaleness? Why was it necessary that she be blindfolded? –Editorial from AFLJ Volume 1
Debuting in 1993, the Australian Feminist Law Journal has fearlessly published works from feminist writers and academics questioning race discourse, gender bias, violence against women and human rights among many other often controversial topics.
This year, the renowned journal will celebrate 25 years of publication and we take this opportunity to look back at the covers that have prefaced the journal since 2000.
For a detailed list of the articles in each issue visit publisher Taylor and Francis.
Volume 34, 2011 – Volume 43, 2017

In its third year, the growing celebration of all things science and the only World Science Festival franchise outside of New York, WSF Brisbane promises to ignite debate and inspire discovery.
Running from March 21-25, WSF Brisbanefocuses on the theme of ‘humanity’, and will see Griffith University experts in the thick of discussions delving into our deep past and speculating on how our species will survive an uncertain future.
Griffith will also play its part taking science to the street for fun activities designed to motivate budding scientists to pursue STEM careers, and so find the answers our vulnerable species and fragile planet needs.
Leading the university’s contingent will be Emeritus Professor Alan-Mackay Sim, last year’s Australian of the Year, who continues to inspire the next generation.
ARCHE Director and geochronologist Professor Rainer Grun will share his globally-renowned expertise in the latest techniques to date fossils, which are shedding modern light on our evolution, and even re-writing history.
“Previous finds out of Africa, in the Levantine corridor and China, dated the first modern humans to around 100,000 years but now we can prove through our dating analysis thatHomo sapiensleft Africa as far back as around 200,000 years ago,” Professor Grün said.
Professor Grun will be joined on the event panel by archaeologist and ARC Future Fellow, Associate Professor Adam Brumm,who has extensively explored caves and open sites on the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi and Flores, unearthing a trove of finds related to humanity’s ancient heritage and the evolutionary history of ‘Ice Age’ people.
“There may have been a period of overlap in Southeast Asia between Homo sapiens and earlier, now extinct human species, such as the ‘Hobbit’ of Flores — we don’t have direct evidence, but the possibility is exciting, as is the wider archaeological evidence from more recent time periods that modern humans in this region were more culturally advanced than previous studies have suggested,” Associate Professor Brumm said.
Moderated by well-known science communicator, palaeontologist and former ABC Catalyst presenter Paul Willis, the panel discussion may not definitively decide who ‘won’ the race out of Africa, but it will spotlight the global significance of studying ancient peoples in our region.
One thing is certain, a myriad of answers will come from studying very, very old teeth, because according to ARCHE Associate Professor Tanya Smith, teeth tell tales, and very accurate ones.
“Teeth have this amazing record locked inside of them for millions of years and they tell us about diet, growth and development and behaviour,” said Professor Smith.
“When we grow our teeth they are almost like fossils already. We can come up with an accurate age if an individual died before they stopped forming their teeth, we can count each daily line inside the teeth.”
Associate Professor Smith, will serve up her Teeth Tales over a Brainfood Breakfast, with the highly-experienced science communicator, who spent eight years as a Harvard University researcher, set to wet audience’s appetites for her toothy stories to be published in a forthcoming book later this year.
The role of genetics is also being probed in a timely breakfast debate – just 12 days out from Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games – that will explore the ‘nature vs nuture’ arguments for creating sporting champions. Dr Caroline Riot, of Griffith’s Faculty of Business, School of Tourism, Sport & Hotel Management, will add her voice to the Brainfood Breakfast event.
Associate Professor Cheryl Desha offers extreme solutions for green cities
Since humans don’t always learn the lessons of the past, Associate Professor Cheryl Desha will be a hopeful voice for engineering extreme sustainable solutions for our future — she wants the focus shifted from dire threats to radical ideas that will save our cities and believes harnessing nature’s vast idea-bank will be key. (Extreme Cities panel event).
“Our cities are extremely dysfunctional, that’s why we need a radical shift — think green canopies between buildings, urban agriculture on rooftops, and circular systems that recycle water, food waste and energy, all inspired by nature,” Associate Professor Desha said.
Radical new approaches may also be required to combat modern mutating bugs, just a decade out from the centenary of Alexander Fleming’s discovery of anti-biotics.
Associate Professor Kate Seib wants to beat the super-bugs
Institute for Glycomics Research Leader Associate Professor Kate Seib will discuss possible answers with Toowoomba audiences, as she moderates the regional Bugs & Drugs event.
Glycomics promises a new frontier of drug and vaccine discovery, and Dr Seib’s own research into different kinds of vaccines for middle ear infections, Meningococcal disease and the intractable STI Gonorrhoea will hopefully find solutions, before the super-bugs get the better of us.
“Vaccines really need to be the long-term solution, because some of these bugs just continue to mutate to resist new antibiotics, which only really buy us a small amount of time,” Dr Seib said.
Making it fun
Street Science will offer plenty of hands-on stimulation, including a sneak preview of the Sea Jellies exhibit, set to open at Seaworld in a unique partnership with Griffith coastal researchers later this year. The adventurous can hop on a free (bookings required) boat cruise to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, led by Griffith’s Australian Rivers Institute scientists, to discover the fascinating world of underwater eco-acoustics, tuning into a performance by Lone Pine’s resident population of grunting catfish.
Since last WSF, Griffith coastal researchers, led by Associate Professor Andrew Brooks have taken out a prestigious Eureka prize for their research into the Great Barrier Reef, further proof that Griffith has much to offer modern science, and the ongoing quest for answers.
This year’s WSF line-up also sees the return of co-founder Professor Brian Greene, and features NASA senior scientist Dr Jennifer Wiseman and maths sensation and recently announced 2018 Australian Local Hero Eddie Woo.
Law and human trafficking expert Kate van Doore has welcomed Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s announcement ofa new campaign to prevent Australians from inadvertently contributing to child exploitation through the practice of orphanage tourism.
Griffith Law School lecturer Ms van Doore, who has worked tirelessly over the past decade to stop orphanage tourism, said it was fantastic to see the Australian Government take an international lead on this largely hidden issue.
“This campaign encourages Australians to be smart volunteers and to consider how their help can impact negatively on vulnerable children despite very good intentions,” she said.
Ms van Doore, who was recognised at last year’s Anti-Slavery AustraliaFreedom Awards, is at the forefront of the campaign into whether Australia should have a Modern Slavery Act.
Last week, Senator Linda Reynolds, Chris Crewther MP and the Assistant Minister for Home Affairs, Alex Hawke MP, announced that Australia will be the first country to include orphanage trafficking as a form of modern slavery in the anticipated Modern Slavery legislation.
The inclusion of orphanage trafficking is based upon Ms van Doore’s research published in the International Journal of Children’s Rights, and supported by expert testimony given to a Parliamentary Inquiry by Ms van Doore along with several non-government organisations.
“Until 2016, the recruitment of children into orphanages for the purpose of exploitation was not recognised as a form of human trafficking,” she said. “Australia is leading the world in both raising awareness of and aiming to legislate for this issue.”
Senator Reynolds said the new campaign was a wonderful example of politicians from all sides and civil society working together.
“As a result we have become the first nation to recognise and take action against this form of modern slavery. It is estimated that more than eight million children living in orphanages are not actually orphans — it is time for them to be reunited with their families and communities. No longer should any be a tourist attraction.”
Ms van Doore’s part in the ongoing fight against orphanage trafficking had its origins withForget Me Not, a non-governmental organisation she co-founded originally establishing orphanages in Nepal and Uganda.
Upon discovering children had been recruited into their orphanages to pose as orphans for international funding, Forget Me Not transitioned to focus on rescue and reunification of children from orphanages.
In 2016, she found 57.5% of Australian universities were advertising orphanage placements through international volunteering programs and 22 Australian-based and 61 overseas-based travel agencies or organisations sending Australian volunteers to residential care centres.
“I am encouraged by the smart volunteer campaign and I am looking forward to continuing to work with government and civil society to ensure the protection of vulnerable children,” Ms van Doore said.
Griffith photography, film and journalism students recently traveled to Cambodia for a three-week study tour, spending time on assignment with local NGOs to capture some of the country’s untold stories.
The tour involved workshops by renowned photographerJohn Rodsted, followed by intensive storytelling projects which gave students the opportunity to work in local communities.
Joshua has embraced the global mobility opportunities offered by the Queensland College of Art, travelling to Nepal and touring western Queensland to further his education outside the classroom.
“It forces you to push yourself outside your comfort zone, and you learn to thrive on it,” he said.
“My technical skills have improved out of sight, and it was amazing to be working side by side with journalism students and filmmakers from GFS.
“It is a very worthwhile experience, regardless of your destination.”
Joshua worked with several different NGOs during his time in Cambodia – from documenting the rehabilitation of animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trade with the Wildlife Alliance to keeping up with the wheelchair basketball players from XLability and spending time with survivors of the Khmer Rouge as part of aTranscultural Psychosocial Organisation (TPO)project.
“Seeing the amazing work the NGOs do in Cambodia, and the bravery and grace of the people there was a life changing experience,” he said.
“It confirmed my decision to pursue photojournalism after graduation.
“They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and it is amazing how much you can capture with one powerful image.”
Bachelor of Photography graduateMiriam Deprez is a veteran of the 2016 Cambodia In-Field. She is currently completing an Honours degree – documenting mine clearance efforts in the Solomon Islands, where she is working with JohnRodsted.
“My experience on the Cambodia trip made me determined to get out there and dig deeper into the stories that are right on our doorstep,” she said.
“This region is a treasure trove of beautiful, engaging stories that aren’t being told.”
Photos from the trip are on Instagram at #QCA_documenting_cambodia.
Some of the brightest young minds from Queensland and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will converge in Brisbane this month for a two-day workshop hosted by Griffith University.
‘Dynamic Digital Citizenship: Young Social Entrepreneurs in ASEAN and Australia’ will be held from Wednesday 14 to Thursday 15 March at South Brisbane’s Bel Hotel and at Griffith’s South Bank campus, and will welcome remarkable, innovative and socially conscious young individuals from around the region to share insights about how they’ve used the ASEAN network to make a difference for everyday people.
“We’re delighted to be able to bring these incredibly impressive and talented young people together for this event,” Associate Professor Cabrera said.
“Each of them is working at the leading edge of social entrepreneurship, both in terms of the online technologies they are using and the social purposes they are working to serve.
“We are extremely keen to have their insights on opportunities for leveraging these technologies, and their views on how to make effective use of ASEAN integration and social entrepreneurship initiatives to make connections and advance social enterprise in Australia and throughout the region.”
Also taking part will be young Indonesian executivesFarid Naufal Aslam andTeguh Ariwibowo, as well asLoc Doc of Vietnam’sBamBoo Boat Fish Sauce Company and Myanmar-based entrepreneurShew Yamin Oo, ofRecyGlo.
Between them, the delegates work in spaces such as Indigenous empowerment, social enterprise and education, human rights campaigning, decreasing domestic violence, sustainable manufacturing and many other noble pursuits.
‘Dynamic Digital Citizenship: Young Social Entrepreneurs in ASEAN and Australia’ received grant funding from the Australia-ASEAN Council (ACC) of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
For Griffith University students Rebecca Holohan and Timothy McMillan, their studies would not be possible without the help of university scholarships.
Rebecca says without the support from the scholarships, she would struggle to complete her studies in Business and International Tourism – largely because of the travel involved from her Mission Beach home in North Queensland.
And Timothy, who’s studying education and majoring in visual arts, says he wouldn’t have been able to afford the breadth of work placements he’s completed without the support of the staff giving program.
They spoke to Griffith University Journalist in Residence Nance Haxton at the Nathan Griffith Futures Scholarship breakfast (on February 26th).
The newest recipient of the Griffith UniversitySunsuper Bursary,Emily Saunders, says that the institution’s strong ties to industry helped make Griffith Business School the “optimal” choice for her to pursue her career plans.
The final-year Bachelor of Commerce (Financial Planning) student described receiving the $5000 scholarship as an “immense” boon to her studies and future path, helping take her around the globe on an internship program at world-renowned professional services firm Ernst & Young, and bolstering her knowledge and experience as a result – well before she dons the gown and mortarboard.
“Receiving the Sunsuper scholarship was of immense aid to my studies,” Emily said. “It recently funded my international internship in Germany, where I worked with Ernst & Young, giving me a unique industry perspective and invaluable skills that are both applicable to my degree and my future career.
“Additionally, the industry ties between my degree and Sunsuper’s wealth of experience in financial advisory are a fantastic link to have. I am able to connect with individuals in my field and learn off their experiences.”
With only six subjects in her undergraduate degree to go, Emily – who says Griffith was her first choice to pursue her path as a financial planner, thanks to its “highly regarded business school and convenient locations across many campuses” – is now weighing up her options to pursue an Honours program in 2019 as another boon for her fledgling career plans, a decision made all the easier given her established affinity for the university and its business school.
“Griffith Business School was an optimal choice for my commerce education, and was the reason I selected Griffith as my University,” she said.
“It has industry-relevant courses, as well as strong ties with working professionals which meant I often undertook courses delivered by current industry workers. This provided unique interest both into my education and my aspirations as a future professional of that field.
“It also has a fantastic mentoring program, where I have had the opportunity to work with both academics and current professionals for their insight into my own career development.”
The Sunsuper Bursary is open to female students studying the Bachelor of Commerce program with a major in Financial Planning at Nathan, the Gold Coast or Logan. Applicants must be in at least their second year of full-time study, with a GPA of 5.0 or above.
Along with financial aid, the Sunsuper Bursary provides recipients with the opportunity to complete a period of work experience and/or attendance at Sunsuper Professional Development days.
Sunsuper’s Manager of Comprehensive Advice Services,Mr Evan Poole, commended Emily for her success, and said that the bursary relationship with Griffith provides a much-needed opportunity for aspiring female financial planners in a field taking necessary steps to increase gender equality in the workplace.
“Sunsuper is pleased to be able to sponsor women in financial advice getting greater qualifications at Griffith,” Mr Poole said.
“We believe women are underrepresented in financial advice, and it makes a massive difference for us to be able to sponsor a young, up-and-coming financial planner to make her way into the profession.
“We’ve had a long association with Griffith University, and we love the business and financial planning academics here, so it was an obvious choice for a fund like Sunsuper – which is based in Queensland – to sponsor and work with Griffith University in this way.”
Pro Vice Chancellor (Business)Professor David Grantalso highlighted the strength of Griffith’s ties to industry and Sunsuper in particular, given the organisations’ shared visions of creating positive change within the financial services and planning sectors.
“The Griffith Business School heavily values its partnerships with industry, and this scholarship represents further expression of the strength of ties we have with industry and of the importance we place on providing our students with every opportunity to excel in their studies,” Professor Grant said.
“Both the Griffith Business School and Sunsuper share a similar vision of the need to ensure that skilled, qualified graduates of all backgrounds enter the financial planning labour market, and this scholarship helps us achieve that.”
Applications for the next-round bursary are open until Monday 12 March. More information on application guidelines for future Sunsuper Bursary opportunities is available here.
Griffith University’s partnership with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) is a key component of a new online course now available for enrolment on global social learning platform, FutureLearn.
Starting on 12th March, ‘Major Sport Events: Winning through Diversity and Inclusion’ offers participants an opportunity to gain a unique insight into what it takes for an elite athlete and para athlete to compete on the international stage, using the Commonwealth Games as an educational backdrop.
The Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) focuses on the traditions of the Commonwealth Games, the underlying values behind the Games as they have grown and evolved since 1930, and on inclusion and diversity as it is promoted through the well-known sporting event.
Integral to development
The free online course also uses Griffith University’s GAPS (Gather, Adjust, Prepare and Sustain) Programme as a case study.
“GAPS was designed to train, support and provide resources to elite athletes and para athletes from developing countries in the Oceania region,” Associate Professor Clare Minahan, School of Allied Health Sciences and one of the course’s lead educators, said.
“The principles of equity and inclusion which were integral to its development also aligned with the ideals on which Griffith’s partnership with GC2018 was forged.”
The new online course, which was developed by Associate Professor Minahan with Dr Alana Thomson, Department of Tourism, Sport and Hotel Management, will also follow the journey of a para athlete from a developed country as they prepare for a major sports event.
“Participants in the course will learn how athletes prepare for major sport events and what is required in terms of support to be successful at international level,” Associate Professor Minahan said.
Monique Murphy, a Bachelor of Social Work student at Griffith University, has benefited from the support she received after a serious fall caused the amputation of her right foot. The 23-year-old won silver for Australia in the swimming pool at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.
The support of family, sports community and sponsors enabled her to manage the financial pressures brought on by the costs of prosthetics. When she moved to Queensland she was also in a strong position to apply the expert knowledge on biomechanics, physiotherapy and nutrition she had gained through the Victorian Institute of Sport, and continue her development as an elite level swimmer.
“I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunities I was given after my accident,” she said.
“The culture of support and motivation that exists within the Australian Paralympic team is immense. We think of it as ‘our team our family’.”
FutureLearn’s Nigel Smith said that sport plays an intrinsic role at all levels.
“Major sporting events contribute immensely to diversity and social inclusion. There’s huge interest in what goes into preparing these events, and what’s involved for athletes,” he said.
“Regardless of your individual involvement, sport can provide everyone involved with a shared story and shared objective, so it’s wonderful to bring all of this together in Griffith’s online course for our global community of learners.”
As with most FutureLearn courses, the course can be taken for free or there is the option to upgrade to receive additional benefits.
