Open Late With House of Gold

Gather your friends and delight in your artistic side with an evening of art and music at Cairns Art Gallery.

Join Con Gerakaris, co-curator of Christian Thompson: House of Gold to delve deeper into Thompson’s fantastical and thought-provoking creative practice. In conversation with Angela Goddard, Cairns Art Gallery Director and Nathan Lee Long, President of Cairns & District Chinese Association, Con Gerakaris will discuss this remarkable exploration of intersectional identity, which sees Thompson exploring and honouring his Bidjara and Cantonese heritage through photographic and multi-media works.

Indulge in a drink and complimentary nibbles with friends on the balcony, enjoy live music, browse the Gallery shop or join the free guided tour.

Free event. RSVP essential as places are limited.
