Read MoreJody Haines (palawa) is a contemporary artist in Naarm/Melbourne. Her practice blends social practice and photo-media (photography/video/film) to explore decolonial methods and public space interventions. Their work is rooted in Indigenous feminist k(new) materialism, and explores themes of identity, representation, and the female gaze.
For my Bundanon residency, I will develop a series of self-portraits on and with Dharawal and Dhurga Country. My practice centres Indigenous and feminist methodologies to explore the more-than-human relationships that surround and are embedded in the image-making process and acknowledge the expanded form this brings to collaborations. It’s a practice of deep listening, sitting with and on Country, testing ways of engaging and exploring relationships through an embodied approach and experience.
