About Carol
Dr Carol McGregor serves as Senior Lecturer in the Queensland College of Art and Design at Griffith University and as Program Director of the Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art (CAIA) program. Of Wathaurung (Kulin Nation) and Scottish descent, she is a multidisciplinary Brisbane-based artist whose practice employs multimedia materials including ephemeral natural fibres, paint, clay, metal, and paper. McGregor's art is motivated by a commitment to un-silencing family and Australian Indigenous community histories, with a prominent focus on reviving traditional possum skin cloak-making practices. She works as a possum skin cloak maker, painter, and printmaker.
An alumnus of Griffith University's Queensland College of Art, McGregor was appointed Program Director of CAIA in February 2020, coinciding with the program's 25th anniversary. This groundbreaking initiative represents Australia's first degree dedicated exclusively to Indigenous artists. In September 2020, she was awarded a national fellowship by the Australian Academy of the Humanities for her contributions. McGregor has curated exhibitions such as 'Source Materials' alongside Naomi Evans at the Griffith University Art Museum and the 5th Tamworth Textile Triennial 'Residue + Response,' which toured to venues including Manly Art Gallery & Museum. Her collaborative projects include community cloaks with Glennys Briggs to reinforce cultural identity and major public art commissions for institutions like the State Library of Queensland. She has delivered public lectures, including 'Art of the Skin: un-silencing and remembering,' and participates in the Griffith Centre for Creative Arts Research. McGregor holds Griffith University appointments as a member and occupies a voluntary director position alongside her academic role as Senior Lecturer.
