Wiradjuri artist Brook Andrew (b. 1970) studied art at the University of Western Sydney and the University of New South Wales. Since the early 1990s Andrew has used his art practice to explore the legacies of colonialism and comment on Indigenous and Australian identity, history and memory, interweaved with Wiradjuri language. His interdisciplinary practice, which encompasses printmaking, photography, sculpture, installation, performance and video, has been represented in many exhibitions here and overseas. In 2015, Andrew was appointed Photography Residencies Laureate at the Musée du quai Branly, Paris and in 2017, he was the recipient of the prestigious Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. He completed a year-long Australia Council International Residency at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin in 2018. Andrew is Associate Professor in Fine Art at Monash University and Enterprise Professor at the University of Melbourne. As artistic director of NIRIN, the 22nd Biennale of Sydney in 2020, Andrew curated a groundbreaking First Nations and artist-led exhibition.
