Jamie Lewis is a Singaporean-Australian artist, curator, dramaturg and facilitator. She creates and curates site-responsive performances that engage audiences as participants, and communities as artists; often through autobiographical stories, conversation and food, and around bodies of water. Projects look like surprising experiences in familiar places; or co-creating familiar rituals in new or unexpected places.

Matisse Laida is a Queer, Mauritian/Venezuelan artist and community arts worker, working across film, food, performance, and public and community programs. Their work explores ideas of care, culture, and collaboration, all through a queer and diasporic lens.

Her practice lives in and beyond We Eatin’ Good, a QPOC community project that uses food as a way to gather, share stories, and connect with identity. Through pop-ups, workshops, film and exhibitions, they explore how cultural food practices can be acts of resistance, memory, and joy.
