Rolande SouliereSouliere’s art practice explores the interconnectedness, and complexities involved in systems. Whether social, political and or cultural. Working across painting, installation, photography, collage, sculpture, socially engaged art, and temporary and permanent public art, Souliere is interested in how these systems have impacted Indigenous people in personal and collective histories. &nbsp;Influenced by her North American First Nation heritage, Souliere’s choice of materials are diverse, and include mass produced materials and repurposed objects. These ready-mades are often manipulated with handmade repetitive processes such as taping, stitching, stacking, and binding. Texture and colour are also prevalent, and when combined with craft processes and everyday objects, they speak of the vast array of subjects residing within systems.&nbsp; Souliere was born and raised on Turtle Island (North America) and lives and works on Gadigal Land, (Sydney) Australia. She is a member of Michipicoten First Nation and has a PhD and MVA from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney.&nbsp;Recent exhibitions include Scents of Movement, Scents of Place, Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada, 52 Artists 52 Actions, Wangarrata Regional Gallery, Australia, Candy Apple Grey, China Heights, Sydney, Australia, States of Collapse, Dunlop Art Gallery, Canada.

Justine YoussefJustine Youssef’s work often begins with moments and places that reconfigure authoritative realities, most recently exhibiting With the toughest care, the most economical tenderness at the Hawai’i Triennial, O’ahu (2022); A Gateway or a Key at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney (2022) and Under the table I learnt how to feed you at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2022). She lives across Wangal and Dharug Countries in Sydney, Australia, where she was a Parramatta Artist Studios resident (2018-21) and a recipient of the Copyright Agency’s John Fries Award (2019).

Gillian KayroozGillian Kayrooz is an artist based in Sydney; on unceded Gadigal and Dharug land, whose practice reflects her personal experience and ongoing engagement with local communities. Kayrooz’s work is collaborative; she invites members of the community to contribute authentic impressions, in a bottom-up rather than top-down conception of history and place. In 2018 she was awarded the Create NSW Young Creative Leaders Fellowship which led her to exhibit internationally in the Asia-Pacific region and complete residencies in both China and Japan. Her installation, video and photographic work has been shown extensively in solo and group exhibitions across Australia, including spaces such as Firstdraft, UTP, The Powerhouse Museum, Casula Powerhouse and Artspace. She was appointed Co-Director of Firstdraft from 2021-2023 and most recently concluded a summer solo exhibition at the Murray Art Museum in Albury titled 'Five Ways to Say I'm Home'. Kayrooz is currently participating in 'Counterflows', a program commissioned by Artshouse (Melbourne) and Urban Theatre Projects (Sydney), that enabled her to undertake research and participate in the March Meeting program as part of the 2023 Sharjah Biennale in the UAE. She is also a finalist in the Create NSW x Artspace Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship for 2024.
