Dr Julie Gough is the recipient of the 2022 H.C Coombs Creative Arts Indigenous Fellowship.

Shining a spotlight on the representation of Aboriginal histories, Tasmanian artist, writer and curator Dr Julie Gough, a Trawlwoolway woman, draws on her Aboriginal ancestry and her family's experiences as Tasmanian Aboriginal people to highlight untold and often conflicting histories of Australia's colonial past. 

Utilising the creative mediums of sound, film and sculpture, Gough's work is grounded in archival research and is deep-rooted in her connection to Country. Her work has been displayed in galleries across the country, and now she'll look to broaden her creative horizons as one of the new HC Coombs Creative Arts Fellows to take up residency at The Australian National University.

The H.C. Coombs Creative Arts Fellowship was established in 1964 at the instigation of Dr H.C. Coombs, ANU Pro-Chancellor at the time, to encourage creative work in the arts in Australia. Read more about the Fellowship here.
