In collaboration with the WW1 Museum in Kansas, Agency commissioned Worimi artist Dean Cross to create a response to the WW1 experience, grounded in his family’s history of war, for display at the Kansas WW1 Memorial and Museum.

In L ving Memory was a melancholic meditation on time, lineage, and emotional memory. Cross was the first man in his family not to enlist in military service, breaking a chain of duty that had endured for over 145 years.

A dual-channel video work from the same body of work was also exhibited and acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria that year.

We were grateful to have worked alongside Dean and to support the amplification of his poignant approach to art-making.

To read more, please visit the Kansas WW1 Museum website.

Katie West: Country, Culture and Mindfulness, essay by Claire G. Coleman

Katie West is a multidisciplinary artist descended from the Yindjibarndi people, who studied in Boorloo (Perth) and Naarm (Melbourne), and is now based in Balardong Noongar Boodja, not far from Boorloo and more than a thousand kilometres south of her ancient sacred Country inthe Pilbara region of Western Australia. West was born, lives, and works on Noongar Country, the land of my nation (although my own ancestral Country is further south even than that) and West’s being on Noongar Country connects our people, Noongar and Yindjibarndi, like a thread stitching our families and boodja (Country) together. She is a strong artist in both culture and artistic practice, her art engaging with our ancient culture and the modern increasingly westernised world simultaneously.

Claire G. Coleman is a Noongar woman whose family have belonged to the south coast of Western Australia since long before history started being recorded. She writes fiction, essays, poetry, and art criticism while either living in Naarm (Melbourne) or on the road. Born in Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar (Perth), away from her ancestral Country she has lived most of her life in Victoria, and most of that in and around Naarm (Melbourne).

The KNOWN series elevates and amplifies First Nations voices, strengthening cultural knowledge, language, and artistic practice across national and international platforms.

Developed in partnership with Perimeter Editions, the KNOWN series has been generously supported by the Australian Government through Creative Australia and the Indigenous Languages and Arts program. Agency thanks Daniel Besen for his generous contribution and support of the KNOWN series.

Marrnyula Mununngurr with words by Dr Maia Nuku.

Marrnyula Munuŋgurr (b. 5 July 1964, Yirrkala) is a Djapu woman of the Dhuwa moiety. Years of experience as a senior artist and printmaker at Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre have led to a diverse art production that includes paintings on bark, wood carving and larrakitj (hollow logs) and a significant body of impressive prints in all formats, this latter a favoured medium in which she made her name.

Dr. Maia Nuku is a Maori/Ngai Tai woman, and curator of Oceanic Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Her curatorial approach is driven by an ambition to distill core ideas pertinent to the arts of Oceania, drawing out the distinct themes and cosmological connections that can assist visitors in fully appreciating these unique and compelling arts.

In 2025, Agency proudly supported the contracting of Shanysa McConville, First Nations Curator at Newcastle Art Gallery, across three major programs spanning 2024 into 2025.

In the lead-up to the highly anticipated re-opening of Newcastle Art Gallery in 2025, Shanysa brought invaluable curatorial insight and creativity to the opening. Her contributions included thoughtful selection and curatorial recommendations, as well as meaningful input into publications and engaging public programs.

Her work not only enriched the gallery’s reopening but also helped create a vibrant, welcoming experience that celebrates culture, storytelling, and community.

CONTOUR: FIBRE FORMS

“Across these regions, fibre works are shaped by deep relationships to land, kinship, ceremony, and cultural knowledge. Artists draw on inherited understandings of plant materials, seasonal harvesting and fibre preparation, and the use of natural dyes to produce finely crafted mats, baskets, dilly bags, and fish traps, along with works that emerge from artists unique relationships with Country. “

– Shonae Hobson, Curator

Agency are pleased to participate in FUTUREOBJEKT at Melbourne Art Fair 2026.

Agency’s presentation for FUTUREOBJEKT, curated by Shonae Hobson, foregrounds the cultural legacy and ongoing innovation of Indigenous fibre practices. This display brings together works from remote Arnhem Land community art centres including Milingimbi Art & Culture, Maningrida Arts & Culture and Bula’Bula Arts.

Wednesday 18 February – Sunday 22 February

Location: Booth E14, FUTUREOBJEKT, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, 2A Clarendon St, South Wharf

CONTOUR: FIBRE FORMS

“Across these regions, fibre works are shaped by deep relationships to land, kinship, ceremony, and cultural knowledge. Artists draw on inherited understandings of plant materials, seasonal harvesting and fibre preparation, and the use of natural dyes to produce finely crafted mats, baskets, dilly bags, and fish traps, along with works that emerge from artists unique relationships with Country. “
