Dr Grace Pundyk will be representing the ANUCES at the 2025 conference of the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) - “Unruly Objects”. 

Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 December 2025, University of Western Australia, Perth

The 2025 conference looks at the uncontrollable, excessive, surplus and unruly qualities of objects that we attempt to study, curate, discipline and subject to discourse. Thinking beyond simply the agency of objects, we turn specifically to their rowdy, disruptive, and ungovernable aspects – whether they be leaking out of unwieldy collections, unexhibitable or unthinkable, fugitive or lost, or brimming with vitality, power or ancestral subjectivity.

The conference is hosted by The Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, The Berndt Museum, and the UWA School of Design, and supported by the Institute of Advanced Studies.

Dr Pundyk will give a talk "Made in Poland: textile anamnesis and the Australiana souvenir" - see a draft program here
