Abbra Kotlarczyk was raised on bundjalung Country in the subtropical ruins of a decommissioned banana plantation. As an artist and a writer, she works with paper as a foundational medium, exploring its potential to hold and express story and interspecies subjectivity. Her work is research-driven and situated through expanded notions of care, labour, queerness, ecology, publication and embodied poetics.
Briony Galligan was born on palawa Country and has lived in Naarm for most of her life. She makes environments—through drawing, installation and sculpture—that are slippery and suspended, more atmosphere than coherent logic. Briony positions objects as conduits, working with them as tools and appendages to move through states of disequilibrium such as sickness, queerness and invasiveness.
