MajaBaska, a freelance photographer living and working on Dharug and Gundungurracountry. With 19 years of experience informed by a Fine Arts background, herpractice is rooted in an intuitive sense of light, colour, and composition—instincts shaped by a childhood immersed in the creative world of her filmmakerand photographer parents. Maja’s fascination with the science of light,combined with her deep love for working with people, allows her to createimages that not only capture a moment but also reveal something more— the quietstories and human connections that live within every frame.
JasonPhu is a multidisciplinary artist who grew up in Sydney, working acrossprintmaking, drawing, painting, performance, film and installation. With aplayful approach, Jason draws on personal, familial and historical narratives –as well as funny jokes - to address experiences of social and culturaldislocation in a modern Australian context. Taking form as gods, ghosts, demonsand spirits from Chinese culture and local folklore, his works, often made fromhumble repurposed materials, become animated personifications of home,identity, and belonging.
