Melbourne-based curator Hannah Presley says the phone call inviting her to curate the next edition of Primavera – the Museum of Contemporary Arts’ exhibition for artists 35 years and under – came totally out of left field.
‘It has been a journey … 2020 was an interesting time to think about, back in 2019 – there were some big anniversaries and things like that, with Black Lives Matter. So I was thinking, do I go all Indigenous artists?’ Presley explained.
