Artist: Ana Tiquia
Work in progress
Location: Esperance, Western Australia
Community partner: Cannery Arts Centre
About the artist:
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.
About the community partner:
The Cannery Arts Centre was originally built in 1949 to be used as a Fish Cannery. After serving as a car yard, a dance hall and a youth centre it was renovated in 1984 to its present state. It is now a vibrant community arts centre delivering workshops, exhibitions and events to the Esperance community and visitors to the region.

In collaboration with the Cannery Arts Centre Melbourne -based Artist Ana Tiquia will spend six weeks in Esperance between 12 October to 24 November.
This symposium brings together artists, researchers, and organisers to yarn, present, and perform about their diverse arts practices and imagine creative approaches for the future of work in the visual arts sector. Participants will present creative ideas that challenge existing processes and structures to create more equitable, inclusive, and collaborative approaches that recognise and embrace the diverse cultural and social values in artistic and creative practices today.
