PANEL DISCUSSION | QUT Art Museum | 8 May 2026
Panel Discussion – Deep Surface
Friday 8 May | 12 – 1 pm
When protest adopts masks, camouflage, and warning colouration, does individual agency disappear – or is it precisely through becoming surface, pattern and swarm that collective power emerges?
Moderated by Dr Rae Haynes, join Dr Chari Larsson in conversation with Dr Laini Burton, as they delve into Deep Surface – the exhibition and monograph capturing 30 years of creative practice.
Reflecting on collectivity, anonymity, and identity within Jemima Wyman’s practice, this panel will examine how these themes converge in contemporary art and across the wider cultural landscape. This discussion invites you to rethink how power, resistance, and political agency operate in an image-saturated, surveilled world.
