Biography
Ace’s curatorial interest is re-presenting Australian foundational narratives through the perspectives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. He staged several important national and international exhibitions of Aboriginal art in the 1980s and 1990s. Ace’s recent innovative curatorship has evolved from his synthesis of family, Indigenous, and national narratives in a series of exhibitions at Sydney museums: Flesh & Blood: A Story of Sydney 1788–1998 at the Museum of Sydney in 1998; EORA: Mapping Aboriginal Sydney 1770–1850 (co-curated with Keith Vincent Smith), NSW State Library in 2006; Lines in the Sand: Botany Bay Stories from 1770 to 2008 and Shifting Sands: Botany Bay Today (2010) both at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Art Centre. Recently, Ace Bourke’s co-authored book, A Lion Called Christian written in 1970 (at the age of 24) was republished worldwide and he is again immersing himself in wildlife and conservation projects.(Source: The Cross Arts Project) Writers: Joanna Mendelssohn fulleg Date written: 2012 Last updated: 2015

Summary
In the popular mind Ace Bourke is one of the two young men who adopted a lion cub and wrote "A Lion Called Christian". But long before that escapade made him famous on Youtube, he had become the respected curator, questioning his family's relationship with Indigenous Australians and fostering the careers of many young aritsts.
