Led by UNSW Galleries Public Engagement Officer, Miranda Samuels, these intimate tours of 'Gemma Smith: Rhythm Sequence' utilise the technique of audio description as an access tool for people who are blind or have low vision, and as a medium for experimenting with ideas of language, abstraction and translation.

Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome. Open to the general public. For questions please contact Miranda Samuels, m.samuels@unsw.edu.au.

Gemma Smith invites a range of Australian painters to discuss the influence of female abstractionists on the development of their work and the work of artists overlooked in the lineages of abstract painting. Speakers include Christine Dean and Liz Pulie, with more to be announced soon.

Developed in conjunction with 'Gemma Smith: Rhythm Sequence'.
