Wulan Dirgantoro, Hamburg Institute for Advanced Studies Fellow and Lecturer in Contemporary Art at the University of Melbourne, will present a new long-term research project that she contributes to with her focus on post-conflict art in Timor-Leste.

An early output of this Australian Research Council grant project (LP210300068, led by Kit Messham-Muir, Curtin University) is the exhibition "Art of Peace: Art After War" at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA).

The exhibition, curated by Kit Messham-Muir, AGWA curator Robert Cook, and Independent Curator/Writer Bahar Sayed, features nine artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste, and explores how visual artists address the trauma of war and life after conflict.
