ARTIST TALK: MAREE CLARKE, ‘SEEING THE INVISIBLE’

27.10.2025

Hear from Maree Clarke as she shares the story behind Seeing the Invisible, currently showing at the Canberra Museum & Gallery, inspired by her time on Country and the significance of the Ginninderra Reed Necklace (1862)—a cultural object created by Aboriginal girls as a wedding gift to Minna Palmer.

Join a special discussion led by Maree Clarke, Virginia Rigney (CMAG Senior Curator), and Catherine Palmer (lender of the Ginninderra Reed Necklace) as they explore the deep cultural resonance of this work and the rare colonial-era friendship that helped shape it.

Following the presentation, attendees are invited to partake in light refreshments and explore the exhibition.
