🪸 About the Artist 🪸
Emina Ashman is an Australian-Southeast Asian poetess and performer in Naarm/Melbourne, exploring how love undulates through body, sound, and the sensuous beauty of life. Her creative practice flows through embodied poetry, spoken word, performance art, and theatre - drawing on mermaid consciousness and the language of water.
Trained at the Victorian College of the Arts, she has performed in professional and independent art spaces such as Melbourne Theatre Company, La Mama Theatre, and Next Wave Festival.
Inspired by romanticising life, she offers poetry not only as artform, but as a relational way of being. Her art is a channel for compassion, courage and creativity
