Rare Air 3 | clothilde bullen

Clothilde Bullen is a Wardandi woman, mother of two and a child of two generations of Stolen Children, whose immersion in art began very young.

For ten years she was the curator of Indigenous art at the Art Gallery of Western Australia ( AGWA) and her depth of understanding about the potential positive impact of art to communities is second to none. 

After life-changing leadership development, this year Clo left the safety of full-time work to undertake study for a Masters and PhD with plans to clear the path for many other Aboriginal people to become curators.
