aMBUSH Gallery are thrilled to invite you and your guest to the VIP launch of HERE I AM: Art by Great Women, one of their most ambitious and exciting projects to date. It’s the latest group exhibition in the Kambri exhibition spaces; aMBUSH Gallery and Exhibition Avenue, as well as a major component of the stellar new three-month festival of the same name being held at Kambri at the Australian National University this summer.

Inspired by the Know My Name movement and in a cultural partnership with the National Gallery of Australia (NGA), HERE I AM: Art by Great Women is a showcase of contemporary artists from multi-disciplinary backgrounds including street art, fine art, photography, illustration, digital, sculpture, film and more.

Presented by Kambri at ANU, curated by aMBUSH Gallery and with over 100 featured artists, the summer-long family-friendly festival aims to re-energise our cultural landscape by showcasing some of Australia’s best female creative talent, in the heart of our nation. Activations will include outdoor public art and gallery exhibitions, live art and music events, public talks, film screenings, and more.

Running from 20 November 2020 until 28 February 2021, HERE I AM: Art by Great Women will coincide with Know My Name by the NGA and will proudly feature contemporary female creatives including Gemma O’Brien, Georgia Hill, Aretha Brown, Lucy O’Doherty, Minna Leunig, Faith Kerehona, Bohie Palecek, Helen Proctor, George Rose, Noni Cragg, Kaff-eine, Nanami Cowdroy, Nicole Reed, and Selina Miles, to name but a few.

Comprising free public events across the Kambri precinct – including free parking on weekends – it will be a lively program appealing to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and providing an invaluable platform for women artists and creatives to engage with the broader community.

On opening night, 20 November, many featured artists will be in attendance as we launch the gallery exhibition and the festival at large, giving attendees the first opportunity to purchase works from the gallery exhibition.

This dynamic event is a ‘not to be missed’ evening on the Canberra social calendar and will feature live music from Vessel Collective DJs, Niamh and Maleika, plus complimentary drinks from Lerida Estate and Capital Brewing.
