Moulton told The Sydney Morning Herald that her curatorial work over the last 15 years at Victoria Museums ‘is based on relationships and ensuring that the community feels heard and supported… I love my people’. From 2015 to this September she was in charge of the 4,000-strong historical and contemporary South Eastern Australian First Peoples Collections. Moulton is currently deputy chair of Shepparton Art Museum and is a board member for the First Nations nonprofit Adam Briggs Foundation. As senior curator and artistic associate for Melbourne’s Rising festival, she curated Shadow Spirit, an exhibition of immersive commissions by First Nation artists installed in an abandoned train station in June, which will tour to Adelaide; this summer, Moulton also cocurated More Than a Tarrang (tree): Memory, Material and Cultural Agency at Melbourne Museum. She has spoken of the ‘overwhelming sadness’ she feels seeing looted or sacred indigenous objects in colonial museums. Now the British institutional world will hear her voice louder: she has recently been appointed Tate Modern’s adjunct curator in First Nations and Indigenous Art.
