Re-Register: Australian Women Sculptors from the Women’s Art Register is the inaugural Women’s Art Register Artist-In-Residence program. In this multi-sited project, Julia Boros creates new work that draws on the 1978 Women’s Art Register research project: Profile of Australian Women Sculptors 1860-1960. This collection of photographs, slide kit and publication was shown at the Seventh Mildura Sculpture Triennial, in response to the lack of representation of women artists.

Julia reinterprets the material from this collection through a process that reveals twenty-three obscured and sometimes forgotten artists. These hidden identities now emerge in a new light. The project includes an exhibition of new work, archival displays and a publication, providing multiple points of entry to re-examine the life and legacy of these artists.

The Women’s Art Register is Australia’s living archive of women’s art practice (cis, non-binary and trans inclusive) and a National, Artist-Run and Not-For-Profit community and resource. Assessed as a ‘Collection of National Significance’ through the Heritage Collections Council in 2009, this unique archive houses the images, catalogues, posters and ephemera of over 5000 Australian and international artists.
