Diverse Screens: Polychromatic, dir. Sarinah Masukor [teaser]

"Curating is a creative leadership role and leaders in Australian galleries are most often white, and frequently male."

Polychromatic by Sarinah Masukor is a short documentary that spotlights the challenges faced by emerging curators (Talia Smith, Tian Zhang, Rebekah Raymond and Nanette Orly) navigating these overwhelmingly white spaces, highlighting the importance of bringing more diverse curators into our cultural institutions.

Join us for the #DiverseScreens launch on May 16 for a FREE Polychromatic screening at AFTRS Theatrette, followed by a panel with filmmakers about inclusion in the creative sector. RSVP:
