About Zali Morgan

Zali Morgan is a Noongar woman with ancestral connections to Whadjuk, Balladong, and Wilman Boodjar, born and raised near Wooditchup on Wardandi Boodjar, now based near Boorloo. Morgan’s multidisciplinary practice spans printmaking, textiles, sculpture, curating, and writing.

Often questioning notions of place, Morgan’s practice engages with decolonial art and discourse within Australia through both figurative and abstract representations of her surroundings and history. In her printmaking, Morgan looks at iconic buildings and spaces within Boorloo and the Noongar region and attempts to uncover their significance for the Noongar people and challenge colonial ideologies tied to Australia's language.

In 2023, Morgan won the City of South Perth Emerging Art Prize and exhibited in REVEALED (2023) at Fremantle Art Centre. Her work has also been shown at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, DADAA, Museum of Art and Culture, Lake Macquarie, Contemporary Art Spaces Mandurah, Kent Street Gallery and ArtSource.

She has previously worked at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) as Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art and has curated several exhibitions at various institutions in Western Australia, including Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Fremantle Arts Centre, John Curtin Gallery, Edith Cowan University Gallery, and Bunbury Regional Art Gallery, as well as at the National Art School in Sydney, NSW.
