In October, six artists were appointed to director positions at six of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious cultural institutions. This diverse group, aged 18 to 28, are nothing like the older, whiter and wealthier demographic that traditionally dominates the boards.
Among the six artists – appointed from 400 candidates – were two of Asian heritage: 26-year-old Korean-Australian street dancer Dylan Goh, who joined the board of the Sydney Opera House as a director, and 25-year-old Vietnamese-Australian author Vivian Pham, appointed to the State Library of New South Wales.
