In the opening days of APT5 (2–4 December) an exciting range of public programs will provide visitors with a chance to explore the exhibition with greater insight. The public programs include a range of talks, panel discussions and special ‘in-conversation’ events. Many of the talks will take place within the gallery spaces, in sight of the works to which they relate.
Public programs will continue for the duration of APT5.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS
THE POLITICAL DIMENSION
2.30pm / Panel: Sutee Kunavichayanont / Paiman / Eko Nugroho
Chair: Kate Ravenswood, Head of Access, Education and Regional Services
It is often argued that art’s engagement with the political has been at the expense of the aesthetic experience. However, others would counter this by claiming that the political stands as one of the core reasons for the production of art. This session discusses the many ways that artists connect to, and make comment upon, the political.
Bookings n/a, seating limited / Lecture theatre, QAG
TRANSLATING TRADITION
5.00pm / Panel: John Pule / Nusra Latif Qureshi / Michael Parekowhai / Chair: Maud Page, Curator, Contemporary Pacific Art
Since its inception, the Asia–Pacific Triennial has explored the ways in which contemporary artists look at ‘traditional’ practice. The three APT5 artists who will form this panel have very different practices but the processes through which they mediate with the traditional make for a fascinating insight into the translation of culture.

One of the most important components of the ongoing success of public programs for children at the Gallery is the collaboration with contemporary artists. Gain an insight into this joint process as artists involved in Kids’ APT discuss their projects.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS
WORKING THROUGH HISTORY
2.30pm / Panel: Jitish Kallat / eX de Medici / Justine Cooper / Chair: Julie Ewington, Head of Australian Art
Understanding history, evaluating the various inclusions and exclusions implicit within the stories we tell, is an area of intense debate. This session will explore the various ways that artists approach the subject of history.
Bookings n/a, seating limited / Lecture theatre, QAG
WHITE BOX BLACK BOX: FILM IN THE ART MUSEUM
5.00pm / Panel: Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn / Sima Urale / Apichatpong Weerasethakul / Chair: Kathryn Weir, Head of Cinema
While film is often described as the pre-eminent art form of the twentieth century, its position within the art museum is often unclear. This session considers what is specific to the experience of film and video in the art museum as opposed to in the cinema — most particularly the relationship of the spectator to the work in these different contexts.
