The Fifth Australian Print Symposium will be held at the National Gallery of Australia on 2, 3 and 4 of April 2004. Over these 3 days 18 speakers will address the importance of place, both physically and culturally, in the creation of printed works.

The key note address ‘Cultural responsibilities past and present’ will be by Banduk Marika, a senior Yolngu woman from Yirrkala involved in both landcare and printmaking.

Representatives from various print workshops in Australia will present papers, as will artists who have worked in workshops here and overseas, in regional Australia, remote communities and in city streets. There will also be papers on printmaking in India, Papua New Guinea and Singapore.

The Australian Print Symposium is a forum for printmakers/ practitioners, curators and art historians. It provides an opportunity for colleagues to meet both formally and informally during the Symposium and to view the complementary exhibitions and events.

The Symposium coincides with the major National Gallery of Australia exhibition place made: Australian Print Workshop, a celebration of the achievements of the Workshop and the acquisition by the Gallery of some 3,500 prints that formed their second archive of workshop proofs.
