Nadia Refaei is an artist (and sometimes curator) based in nipaluna. Her multidisciplinary practice draws on both personal and collective histories to explore ideas around cultural dislocation and negotiation. Layered histories of familial migration have informed her interest in the relationships between migration, memory and mythology. Nadia uses installation, video and other media, as well as everyday cultural practices like cooking and gardening, to examine these complexities through the lenses of her overlapping, and sometimes conflicting, Arab- Muslim- and Greek- “Australian” identities.
Nadia is represented by Penny Contemporary and is also an arts worker and co-chair of Constance ARI.
