Earth, Body, and Soul: Parminder Kaur Bhandal

Parminder Kaur Bhandal is a visual artist, creative producer, and poet, whose practice focuses on recentering peripheral bodies and disrupting traditional narratives around people and place. Across much of her work, she utilises forms of photography, video, and installation to pay her respects to the community and land that has so generously nurtured her. Her belief is that listening activates empathy which in return nurtures a desire to enact community change for others to connect, express, and engage in critical self-reflection.

Ranjit Singh is Parminder's father. Although not considered an artist by the western definition, he is an artist in his own right. He is a painter and craftsman and makes beautiful work from the discarded materials that he collects.

Manisha Anjali is a writer and artist who has lived in Fiji, Aotearoa and Australia. She is the founder of Neptune, a research and documentation platform for dreams, visions and hallucinations.

Hiếu (he/him) is a patient ocean and a deep listener. His creative practice is an open love letter for us to come together to weave cocoons of collective care and healing.
