Curator Blake Griffiths
​​​

Blake Griffiths is an artist, curator and arts leader whose textile-based practice is driven by research, critical inquiry and community engagement. Working across making and institutional leadership, he brings a distinctive perspective to contemporary Australian textiles, grounded in material practice and research methodology of textile thinking. His weaving practice uses the metaphor of warp and weft as a framework for collaboration, entanglement and repair.

He is currently a Creative Resident at the Powerhouse Museum and serves as Head of the La Perouse Museum in Sydney, leading a team investigating the intertwined histories of early colonial settlement and First Nations culture in New South Wales.

Blake previously directed the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery and has curated programs across regional and metropolitan Australia, working with institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian Design Centre and the Art Gallery of South Australia. His textile work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and he was selected by the Australia Council for the Arts as an Emerging Arts Leader for the 2019 Venice Biennale.

Blake holds degrees in Art Education and Textile Design from UNSW.
