Join us for a conversation with artist-curator and filmmaker Nikki Lam about her practice which addresses the complexity of migratory expressions. The discussion will delve into Nikki’s engagement with migration and diaspora in moving image as well as in curatorial and community practices. This session will include screenings of Nikki’s recent moving-image work.
This event is organised by Gourd Canteen members Weitian Liu and Cindy Huang, who will join Nikki in conversation. The session is free to attend and will be held at Goldsmiths CCA’s Residency Space on Sunday, 8 October from 3 to 4:30 pm.
Nikki Lam (b.1988 Hong Kong) is an artist-curator and filmmaker based in Narrm/Melbourne. Working primarily with moving images and text, her work explores memory through contemplation on time, space and impermanence. Her work deals with the complexity of migratory expressions: its tensions, fragmentation, poetic threads of personal and collective histories. Nikki’s work has been shown widely across Australia and internationally, including most recently as part of Primavera: Australian Young Artists 2023 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. With an expanded practice in writing, community and relational practice, Nikki is co-director of Hyphenated Projects and Biennial, and curator at The Substation. She’s a current PhD (Art) candidate at RMIT University.
