Rural Utopias artist focus: Ana Tiquia in Esperance

In collaboration with the Cannery Arts Centre Melbourne -based Artist Ana Tiquia will spend six weeks in Esperance between 12 October to 24 November.

Ana’s projects are public interventions that invite audiences into dialogue with ‘the future’. Her practice aims to ‘future’ with other humans, creatures, and things – to generate diverse, plural, and transformative future imaginaries.

Ana Tiquia is a transdisciplinary artist, cultural producer, curator, and future strategist. Integrating participatory art, design and futures practice, Ana creates public interventions: works that invite audiences into dialogue with ‘the future’. Her practice is one of inclusion that aims to ‘future’ with other humans, creatures, and things – to generate diverse, plural, and transformative future imaginaries

Over the course of her residency, the artist will draw on archival material, local interactions and collaborative working methodologies to develop a collection of stories and images that respond to Esperance that will be shown at Esperance and the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
