Join us for an Artforum lecture by Judy Watson presented by Art Design & Architecture and introduced by Francis E. Parker.

A direct descendant of the Waanyi clan, Judy Watson grew up in Brisbane and attended the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education, Toowoomba, where she gained a Diploma of Creative Arts in 1979. After moving to Hobart in 1980, she graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1982. In 1990, she travelled to her grandmother’s country in north-west Queensland to learn more about her family’s connections to Riversleigh Station and Lawn Hill Gorge, and her grandmother’s stories. Watson’s matrilineal link to the country of her ancestors has always been central to her printmaking and painting. The hidden histories of Indigenous experience on the colonial frontier, particularly those of women, continue to inspire her.
