Know My Name

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists tells a new story of Australian art. Looking to moments in which women created new forms of art and cultural commentary, the exhibition suggests new histories by highlighting creative and intellectual relationships between artists through time.

Know My Name is part of an ongoing series of gender equity initiatives by the National Gallery to increase the representation of women artists who have often been omitted from published histories and public collections. It draws from a two-part presentation held at the National Gallery between 2020–22 which was among the most comprehensive exhibitions of art by women assembled in Australia to date.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia and the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program. 

The exhibition will be opening on Friday 14 March and visible until Sunday 11 May 2025.
