Visaya Hoffie
Visaya Hoffie is an artist based in Meanjin/Brisbane. Her practice extends ‘expanded painting’ that incorporates sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, design, animation, leatherwork, haberdashery and a range of craft media. Her imagery brings together the observations made during her extensive experiences in other cities, and her love of the incidental, the everyday, the local, the overlooked, the rejected, the dejected, and the downright stupid. She often brings these together in immersive installations that locate the viewer as an essential and performative element in the work.
She considers all her creative production as essential to her role as an artist and continues to work on a number of cross-disciplinary commissions that include fashion accessories, ‘zines, calendars (for Koboyashi Bookshop Press, Mexico); advertising and merchandise for various musicians. In 2022 her work was included in the Risomania exhibition at Perc Tucker Gallery, Townsville. She is currently working towards exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne scheduled for 2022.
Alexander Powers
Alexander Powers is an artist residing on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne, Australia, whose work spans experimental performance, electronic music, DJing and event organising.
Her choreographic work has been performed at Brunswick Mechanics Institute, The Immigration Museum and most recently in video form at Foundation Fiminco, Paris. As a dance performer, she has most notably performed in Luke George’s work Public Actions as part of Dance Massive Festival 2019; as well as in What Am I Supposed To Do? by Rebecca Jensen and Sarah Aitken, 2019.
As a DJ, performing under the name Female Wizard, she has gained national and international recognition, having played at festivals including Golden Plains, Dark Mofo, Boiler Room, Soft Centre and Hybrid, created mixes for Discwoman, NTS and Boiler Room’s Hard Dance series, and holding down a five year long residency at the cult underground queer night Le Fag.
Athena Thebus
Athena Thebus is an artist whose work deconstructs desire. Based on Gadigal land/Sydney, she has presented solo and collaborative work at Next Wave Festival, Liveworks, Sugar Mountain Festival, Campbelltown Arts Centre, ACE Open, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA), and Verge Gallery. Athena’s practice spans sculpture, drawing, and writing. Her practice is driven by the desire to generate an atmosphere by which queer life is sustainable. Part of figuring that out is to make sculptures and installations that use materials that are connotative of capitalism’s excess, nuanced with past shame and queer hope.
