In 2007, Genevieve Grieves was awarded the Xstra Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award for her work Picturing the Old People, which will be presented as part of the 01SJ Biennial: Superlight at the San Jose Museum of Art.
The selection committee described Picturing the Old People as “an exquisite and thoughtful exploration by a contemporary Koori of the ways Aboriginal people were portrayed in the past”. The committee said about this work by Grieves: “This year’s winner has raised the bar for Aboriginal artists working in new media.”
