Window Gallery x Morgan Hogg
Community, material and Connection
IN-FORM is our monthly podcast about local emerging arts practices and the critical conversations that surround our contemporary arts ecology. In today's episode, we’re joined by Morgan Hogg, one of our 2023 Outer Space Window Gallery artists, whose work Ariki Vaine is on show from 17 May - 25 June.
This episode was hosted by Outer Space Promotions Officer, Tess Bakharia.
Morgan Hogg is a Cook Island-Australian emerging artist living and working on unceded Dharug and Gadigal land. Through the perspective of her Kūki Airani heritage, Hogg utilises installation and performance as visual representations of her own exploration of cultural displacement and identity. Making space within her practice to rely on oral exchange between her mother and family, Hogg continues the story of her ancestry through maintaining traditional practices within her works. In engaging with performance and installation, she creates spaces of belonging within her institutionalised upbringing in Australia.
Special thanks to Ariki Entertainment, Mama Fly, Archive New Zealand, Nikki Upoko, Mata Hogg, Harry Klein, Tav Pacific, Rachel Feng, Isabelle Virrey, PIMDAN. My ancestors, who we continue the story for.
Ariki Vaine was commissioned by Firstdraft as part of The Only Thing Left is to Leave, supported by the Keir Foundation, co-developed by Firstdraft and Beirut Art Centre.
