Zanny Begg: These stories will be different

Saturday 23 July - Sunday 18 September 2022 | Main Gallery

Bulli artist, Zanny Begg’s practice is often collaborative, incorporates film, drawing and installation, with a particular interest in exploring hidden or contested histories.

Once described as an advocate for women and marginalised communities, Zanny’s work uses humour, understated drawings and found cultural artefacts to explore themes of gender, activism and migration and the ways in which we can live and be in the world differently. This has included working with macro-political themes, such as globalisation protests, and in micro-political worlds, such as with children in prison.

This exhibition, curated by UNSW Galleries and designed for tour, brings together the artist’s most significant works to date including The Beehive (2018), City of Ladies (2017) and Stories of Kannagi, (2019).

A UNSW Galleries and Museums & Galleries of NSW touring exhibition. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
