Nada Jaza - Scarf The veil is not about the covering of the head and the face. This work is about the idea of how some women have been perceived as objects of rediculasion and submission. Behind it is beauty a delicate aura and sentivity; a person looking out at a world just like any one. The usage of the pins is not just to hold the head scarf . They hold the fabric of a culture together

Simon Moore - Memory + Movement = Time + Space The way we understand time (temporality) is reliant upon how information is transmitted. Our world and our place in it is also defined by the way ‘knowledge’ is stored and shared. When ‘orality’ ruled, we shared info in stories, songs and poems and human life was communal and familial. As Literacy (and print) dominated the sharing of info (from the Renaissance til now) the world, and ‘knowledge’, became nighly-structured and compartmentalised, just like atlases and encyclopaedia. Digital media has aspects of both oral and literal information, it of course dramatically affects the way we store and share knowledge, but it will also alter the way we see the world, ourselves and even temporality itself. Simon migrated from WA to complete his MFA at RMIT in 2010. Since then he has had to drink cheaper beer and have tapwater on his weet-bix lovelustandlemonjuice.wordpress.com

Ramon Martinez Mendoza - Spideroid The “Spideroid” was created by individual participants and spectators who came across it; in a community approach where the piece of art intended to find connections between the reality of a new discovered place & human beings themselves connected through a free dance with simply one rule: NO RULES ALLOWED!

Nikki Lam - Longing, Be-Longing Longing, Be-Longing is an ongoing site-specific project which transgresses when installed in new spaces. Exploring the ideas of the imperfect sense of home in our trans-nationalistic world, this project is made to examine the ontology of transitions, identity and belonging. nikki@nikki-lam.com / www.nikki-lam.com
