Rural Utopias Residency: Ana Tiquia in Esperance, ‘Seeder Futures’ at Esperance Museum
Ana Tiquia is currently working with the community of Esperance. This residency forms part of one of Spaced’s current programs, Rural Utopias.
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. Ana has a deep commitment to the role of arts practice in relation to future inquiry, imagining, and social-ecological change. Her projects explore energy and material futures, futures of work and labour and the power dynamics encoded in algorithmic systems
Here, Ana shares a final update:
On November 16 - 19, Ana Tiquia exhibited Seeder Futures at the Esperance Museum.
Seeder Futures features videos of Esperance community members who actively give and share with others through diverse community initiatives. The work was developed during Ana’s residency at the Cannery Arts Centre in Kepa Kurl / Esperance, in collaboration with the community.
Including interviews with Annie Dabb, Christiane Smith, Jennene Riggs, Karli Florisson, Kat Walkerden, Katie White, Kyron Smithson, Megan McDowall and Sam Starcevich.
