CHRIS CAINES & EMMA X ZHANG
Chris Caines and Emma X Zhang are artists working across installation, sound, and performance. Chris Caines, based in the Blue Mountains, on Dharug and Gundungurra Land, explores immersive media and spatial interventions, often interrogating perception and technology, while Naarm-based Emma X Zhang focuses on materiality, movement, and the sensory experience of environments.
They joined forces during the Manang Artist Residency in the Annapurna region of the Himalayas, creating a site-responsive work that fuses their distinct approaches, for which Emma composed visuals and Chris developed music and sound.
MICHAIL MATHIOUDAKIS as MARCIA MANHUNTER
Michail Mathioudakis is a Gadigal-based artist and performer working through drag, screen, photography, and zine-making. As Marcia Manhunter, Michail creates elaborate, otherworldly and multi-layered costumes and personas, blending grotesque, camp, and dystopian influences.
Viewing drag as "theatre of the self”, Michail sees the artform as a way of performing gender that changes the context of the space in which it exists, an explicitly queer method of storytelling told through visual and performative expression. Their drag work extends their visual practice into living, immersive spectacles where costume and movement collide to explore transformation and identity.
ŽIVA
ŽIVA (Lucija Ivšić) is a Croatian-born, Naarm-based artist, researcher, and lecturer working at the crossroads of music, sound technology, and cultural heritage. A bilingual composer and performer, her sound blends Slavic-pop, darkwave, and experimental electronica.
Formerly the frontwoman and a founder of the acclaimed Croatian post-punk band Punčke, Lucija released her debut solo album ŽIVA in 2023 and creates immersive live shows using live looping, vocal processing, and multi-instrumentation, fusing Slavic roots with raw energy and contemporary sound.
