We are pleased to welcome Mayma Awaida to the Spaced Professional Development Program, as part of the Curatorial Stream. Mayma will be the Curator of Know Thy Neighbour #3, one of our current programs of site-responsive works.
Know Thy Neighbour #3 is the third iteration in our series of Perth-based art projects. The program presents six works that ask artists to investigate notions of place, sites of interest, networks, and social relationships, alongside partner communities.
Mayma Awaida is a first-generation Lebanese producer and artist interested in community-engaged creative practice. Working independently as well on collaborative projects, she was Producer for The Other Film Festival WA 2021 through DADAA, Gallery Manager at Cool Change Contemporary, and a commissioned artist in Perth Festival’s program (Rethinking the Image, 2021). Mayma creates and contemplates on Whadjuk Noongar Bibbulmun boodjar.
