The speaker recounts an unconventional route into museum leadership, arriving at exhibition design from media, criticism, policy, and electronic music rather than the standard curator-to-director path. Now running the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, a state-owned museum focused on screen culture, the speaker reflects in an Ask-Me-Anything format on evolving views of the institution's potential to make change and past work at the Powerhouse and Cooper Hewitt.
