Sab D’Souza is a video artist living and working on Gadigal land. Their work is concerned with emergent social media practices and the materiality of (web)site-specific intimacies. Borrowing the language and semiotics of queer and diasporic digital cultures, they consider how marginalised users negotiate digital structures that ultimately challenge normative systems of affect, language and power. D’Souza approaches these ideas by developing works which are presented and situated within the platforms they respond to, which typically involves text, face filters, Instagram stories, subtweets and google docs. D’Souza’s practice is lived through the act of feeling(s)— online.

Widely exhibited and published, Bragg is the co-founder of MEANWHILE ARI (Te Whanganui a Tara, NZ) and holds a BFA Hons (Massey University), and an MFA by research (Monash University, Naarm, AU).

Sam Petersen: I’m interested in what can be done with one’s identity and the space around it. Both my body and mind, touching everyday feelings between the rational, the playful and the political.
Of course, this is often to do with my disability and my sexuality. My work has been focused on access, and the lack of it — to places, people’s minds and opportunities.
I find plasticine is a great subverter of space and potentially of people’s minds. And the continued flexibility of it is something I am really enjoying — covering or filling up gaps and playing with crevices.
But I’m finding that my work is drawing more and more to spoken word as a powerful format.
