First Nations tour: The Story of the Moving Image

Kate ten Buuren is an artist, curator and writer currently working as Curator at ACMI. As a Taungurung woman, Kate’s multi-disciplinary practice is underpinned in First Nations self-determination, self-representation and knowing one another; ultimately forming the foundation for her interest in contemporary visual art, activation, film, and oral traditions. Previously, she was Curator at the Koorie Heritage Trust and is an alumnus of the Wesfarmers Indigenous Arts Leadership program at the National Gallery of Australia.
