Ace Bourke b. 1946

Also known as Anthony Bourke
  • Curator
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.
