SAM Talks: Stewart Russell | Peter, Tommie, & John/reliving the dream

In July 2024, artist Stewart Russell joined SAM Digital Content Coordinator Kati Hogarth for a conversation exploring the creation of his new installation Peter, Tommie, & John / reliving the dream. 

Stewart Russell’s large-scale textile installation Peter, Tommie & John / reliving the dream explores one of the most influential political actions of the 20th century through the eyes of Australian Olympic silver medallist Peter Norman.

In this episode Stewart talks about the history behind the artwork, meeting Peter Norman, his practice and inspiration behind this series.
