The Artists

Hannah Strout is an arts administrator and producer with a passion for supporting young and emerging artists. She has extensive experience across festivals and youth arts, producing and facilitating workshops, live performances, tours, and festival programs. As Senior Client Manager and Team Leader at Auspicious, Hannah works with a diverse range of artists across multiple artforms, supporting the development and delivery of creative projects. She provides strategic and administrative guidance to help artists realise their work and build sustainable creative practices.

Phillip HOWe is a Naarm (Melbourne)-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, printmaking, painting and installation. His practice unfolds through an intuitive dialogue with Country, where reclaimed materials, bold forms and rhythmic mark-making give rise to works that explore connection, memory and transformation. Drawing on his Celtic and Indigenous heritage, HOWe creates a distinctive visual language shaped by the textures, energies and cycles of the natural world. His work spans intimate works on paper to large-scale public commissions across Victoria.

Nicholas Currie is an artist and curator working with painting, sculpture and performance. Currie is from the Mununjali clan of the Yugambeh language group, with connection to Kuku Yalanji, and currently lives on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm/Melbourne. Humour and kindness are undercurrents to the major themes addressed in his works: contemporary Indigenous perspectives, hauntology and exploration of identity within current Australia.
