Join Suzanne Cotter, Terry Smith, Louise Neri, Daniel Boyd and Daniel Browning for a deep dive into the visionary world of Okwui Enwezor (1963–2019).

Taking place during the General Assembly of the International Biennial Association, this special event celebrates the revolutionary writings of the late Nigerian curator who redefined our understanding of African and global contemporary art.

The discussion centres on a landmark new two-volume publication of Enwezor’s work, edited by Professor Terry Smith. Together, this panel of directors, historians, curators, artists and critics will reflect on Enwezor’s enduring legacy and the 'words on art' that continue to shape contemporary art discourse worldwide.

Join us next week for a discussion about Blue Art Journal with Daniel Browning, Jocelyn Flynn, Georgia Mokak and Warraba Weatherall.

Blue Art Journal is a new publication dedicated to critical writing about local and global First Nations art, craft and design.

In its first issue, published in February 2026, co-editors Hayley Millar Baker and Erin Vink wrote:

"Our connections go well beyond the imagined cartographic boundary zones that have been imposed on our peoples. Throughout the world, Indigenous peoples continue to build on a history of solidarity with each other by recognising our shared struggles against colonial systems, but most importantly our shared celebrations of survival, resurgence, and cultural continuity.

Contributions from the Global First Peoples across the planet remind us we are all living under the same sky, through their appreciation and evaluation of visual arts, craft and design."

Presented by Blue Art Journal, with The Power Institute, Chau Chak Wing Museum and the Biennale of Sydney.

Technologies don’t just capture images – they interpret, analyse and act on what they see.

Join us for the second session of the three-part series Vision Machines, co-presented by the Power Institute and the MCA. Gain insights from academics Chris O’Neill and Elizabeth Stephens, as well as research and art collective Machine Listening, as they consider how vision machines create models of reality. Program curators Andrew Brooks and Nick Croggon will also moderate a discussion examining how model-making machines have shaped the world.

The night concludes with The Present is an End by T. Morimoto (Tom Smith), a live performance using a web browser to combine moving image, text and sound into a speculative vision of the future.
Is machine vision really new? Or is it just the most recent episode in a much longer global history of colonial extraction and enclosure?

Wiradjuri interdisciplinary artist Joel Spring discusses his work "Diggermode 2", screened at "Vision Machines: Operations" on 12 March 2026.

The next event in the "Vision Machines" series is tomorrow Thursday, April 9 - head to the link in our bio to book your ticket!
