Next Witness panel discussion
This month we have a special edition of the podcast featuring a panel discussion on the relationships between art, aesthetics and justice.
The event was a part of the recent Next Witness exhibition in the library featuring the works of contemporary Australian artist Julie Fragar. Inspired by her experiences as an observer in the Queensland Supreme Court, Fragar’s large, layered paintings reveal the human factors in the judicial process.
Joining the artist in discussion were the Honourable Justice Thomas Bradley, Dr Karen Crawley and Professor Kieran Tranter. The panel was chaired by Angela Goddard, Director of the Griffith University Art Museum.
