Over the last three years, I have been conducting an extensive literature review to gather material on and about women artists. With the exception of the dedicated feminist arts journal LIP (1976-84), Artlink gives the most consistent and comprehensive coverage of Australian women artists. As a researcher looking at the last fifty years of art practice in Australia, Artlink’s themed issues have been extremely valuable.

In a year coloured by the nation’s voice to parliament referendum, Working Voices was conceived to reassert the agency of Indigenous voices within the contemporary art sector. How artists and arts professionals, creative partners and communities choose to make art and engage with their audiences is the focus of this issue. Featuring intimate cross-cultural studio exchanges and new curatorial approaches, reviews and profiles, Working Voices recognises the ongoing collaborations that lie at the heart of any enduring creative project—including the essays and conversations published here.
