Lichen Kelp, Audax Mrozik Gawler & Marilena Hewitt

Lichen Kelp, Audax Mrozik Gawler and Marilena Hewitt are Australian artists working to envision habitable worlds through kin-making, interspecies collaboration and collective actions. Their transdisciplinary work utilises publication, live-art, media, queer ecology, science and futures thinking to traverse artistic and curatorial practices, creating the conditions for collaborative survival and equitable planetary futures. Their award winning work has been shown and collected both locally and internationally, with work most recently appearing at the Centre for Projection Art, Unconformity Festival, SCA Gallery, The Powerhouse Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, The Australian Network of Art & Technology, and the Sydney Institute for the Environment. Lichen is one half of performance duo Kelping, and her curatorial projects include Seaweed Appreciation Society international (SASi) and the Forum of Sensory Motion. Audax is founder of interspecies futures lab Urthling and the Trans* Ecology Club and Marilena is founder and editor of PLATYPUS, an Art publication informed by fieldwork.
