This year I was selected to be one of the two artists invited for a studio residency at Nexus Arts. The residency will coincide with the SALA Festival (South Australian Living Artists Festival) for three months, from April to June.
The residency also comes with a mentorship, which is an opportunity to work with an established artist who will provide me with guidance through the process. I'm excited to receive some professional advice and maybe even get some tips on technique and skills!
I'm also thrilled I get to use the studio space and be in the community within and surrounding Nexus. I don't currently have a studio so this will be great.
Here's the writeup from the Facebook post by Nexus Arts:
Nexus is excited to announce our 2020 SALA residence recipient - Makeda Duong
Makeda - Artist is an Adelaide based artist whose work explores her experience of contemporary womanhood through textiles processes such as knitting and embroidery. Though her practice examines aspects such as mental and gynaecological health, recent themes in her work involve investigating her mixed race identity and Vietnamese heritage.
We can't wait to see what she delivers for SALA Festival 2020.
Come and visit me in the studio at Nexus this year!
