Adjunct Professor Wayne Quilliam is one of Australia’s most respected Indigenous photographic artists and recognised by his peers being awarded the national NAIDOC Artist of the Year for his work with Indigenous people throughout the world. Recently he was nominated as a Master of Photography by National Geographic, a finalist in the Australian Photographer of Year and runner up of the Indigenous business of the year. He was awarded the Supplier of the Year for the Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council and a finalist in the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. Wayne won the 2008 Human Rights Media Award for his work on the Apology and highly commended in the prestigious Walkley Awards for a social documentary on the Redfern Riots. He was first Indigenous photographer to headline the International Photo Biennale and has created and curated more than 100 exhibitions throughout the world.
Wayne also works with Indigenous groups in Mexico, Bolivia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Guam and is currently developing an intercultural exchange between Indigenous photographers around the world. In harmony with his photojournalistic work he is recognised as one of the country’s top 100 artists for his ‘Lowanna’ art that infuses textures of earth over bodies which attracts large crowds throughout Europe and features on BBC, NBC, ABC and Foxtel.
His recent exhibitions include the Museum of Young Art, Vienna, Berlin/Cologne/Dusseldorf/Hamburg, and Tokyo, Moscow, Mexico, Guam, Jakarta, Dreaming Festival and Australia’s premier Indigenous art gallery Tandanya. His ‘Towindri’ exhibition launched in Cairo last month has attracted critical acclaim and will tour to Riyadh and Beirut later this year. He is one of the featured artists at a joint show that opened in Italy this month and will open shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and New York over the coming months.
