| Your Personal Biography |
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, is a finalist as the Australian Photographer of Year and the Indigenous business of the year. Wayne won the 2008 Human Rights Media Award for his work on the Apology and twice a finalist 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. His work has been published in more than 1000 magazines, books and newspapers and it is believed his photographic collection is the largest privately owned Indigenous collection in Australia.
His work includes documenting significant Indigenous events over the past 15 years including the Apology, 1967 Referendum, Garma, Laura, Burunga, Dreaming Festivals and literally thousands of community events throughout the country. Wayne also works with Indigenous groups in Mexico, Bolivia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Guam and he 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. It is estimated his photographic documentary on the ‘Apology’, ‘Sorry more than a Word’ exhibition at Parliament House in Canberra was seen by more than a quarter of a million people.
His recent exhibitions include the National Museum in Canberra, Vienna, Berlin/Cologne/Dusseldorf/Hamburg, Tokyo, Moscow, Mexico, Guam, Jakarta, Dreaming Festival and Australia’s premier Indigenous art gallery Tandanya
