The 2024 Archibald Prize finalists unveiled by the Art Gallery of NSW paint a vibrant tapestry of Greek culture and creativity. From the bold strokes of Eliza Bertwistle capturing the activism of Chanel Contos to Whitney Duan’s portrayal of the dynamic Jordan Gogos, these portraits stand as tributes to the rich heritage and diverse talents within the Greek community. As the anticipation builds for the winner’s announcement, the gallery doors open to an exhibition where each brushstroke tells a story of resilience, inspiration, and the enduring legacy of Greek influence in Australian art.”

She may have started the year as an everyday university student, but Chanel Contos is ending it as one of nine women crowned by Marie Claire Australia as “Women of the Year 2021” as she is recognised for her ground-breaking achievements this year lobbying for and providing holistic consent and sexuality education.
The impact of 23 year old Greek Australian Chanel Contos’ campaign against sexual abuse and harassment has led the Australian Ministry of Education to announce that it is making changes to the teaching of sex education immediately. Schools across Australia will soon provide information on consent, respect and sexual abuse for pupils up to the age of 12.
It is a first victory for Chanel Condos and the thousands of girls who have endured the traumatic experience of sexual abuse or harrassment.
