Past Projects
2025 COLLECTION RESEARCH PROJECT
|
In 2025, UWA students were invited to participate in a unique collection research experience engaging with the work of Western Australian women artists that are held in UWA collections. Students worked with Lee Kinsella (Curator – Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art) as they catalogued and researched individual paintings from the exhibition, Lines in the Sand: Women from the West. The project culminated with students communicating their research via exhibition text and audio descriptions.
