About the speakers
The ArtHitects
The ArtHitects reinterpret building and gardening typologies to confabulate large-scale, immersive environments produced at the intersection of their diasporic Chinese and European cultural backgrounds, generational outlooks, and the confluence of their distinct lineages as artists and architects. They engage with communities, other artists, and makers, collection items and objects from daily life to create new works that respond to contemporary concerns, reflecting the lived experiences of an increasingly blended world. Historical and modern furniture is particularly important to them because its design and utility express everyday human movement and some of our body’s most frequently repeated gestures.
Grace Dewar
Grace Dewar is an Australian interdisciplinary artist and creative producer living on Widjabul Wia-bal Country, Lismore NSW. Their practice is situated in collaboration, installation, public art, performance, sound, and video. They use everyday materials and temporary processes to re-work, re-organise and re-assemble what already exists, attempting new ways to understand and misunderstand our surroundings. Their speculative and site-specific approach holds space for improvisation, resourcefulness, interaction, and impermanence as an urgent response to ecocide and the critical necessity of community. They collaborate as part of public art collective, PUBLIC PALACE; performance art band, Dolphin Milk; and sound collective, Noise Xhurch, and work as Project Manager for Arts Northern Rivers.
