Abstract
This initiative seeks to renew the network of “who is who” in this diverse field of ongoing research. We want to know how ‘Islamic’ arts (broadly speaking) are represented within Australia, and what expertise and capacities may be developed further through our shared interests. We are interested in how these contested fields are represented in cultural institutions, tertiary education, creative practice, and/or private collections in Australia and Aotearoa / NZ.
The Iranzamin exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum (in Ultimo, Sydney from 19 March - 8 August 2021) and its related academic and public events, as well as the ‘Islamic Art in Australia’ edition of TAASA Review (Vol 29, Issue 3, September 2020) prove that there is desire and demand for engagement with ‘Islamic’ art within Australia and Aotearoa / NZ. Through this initiative we hope to expand and renew the network of specialists who are contributing to this global field, noting how our perspectives are shaped by our locations, resources and historical context.
