My name is Ivey. I live in Sydney and spend a lot of time in Melbourne. I make dance about capitalist social relations - particularly those engaged in a labour process. Currently I am making work about the alienating force of abstraction (particularly the reduction of human activity to a price - the wage relationship - that reduces us to a kind of utility-driven, ‘living dead’).  So why dance? Well, I’m using dance and memory as revivifying forces that can maybe be ways of resisting the oppressive leech on our spontaneity that is the need to work, to earn money, to live.

Hi, I’m Celeste, a creative in Next Wave’s producer stream. I say creative instead of producer because recently I’ve been dreaming about when I used to identify more as an artist and want to acknowledge the work I do around producing – writing, scheduling, curating. The work I do brings people together. Right now, I’m cooking up something along those lines toward Next Wave, as well as working for a big institution to diversify and engage new audiences. I’ve just set up a council of 18 teens, a new generation of artists and thinkers, which rocks. It’s really inspirational to be part of bigger institutional change and lift up voices that haven’t been heard before.

Haunting the Flesh is a ceremonial exploration of growing and becoming. Through experimental sound and dance, Papaphilia and Mossy attempt to capture the excesses of being that spill out in the daily conflict between bodily autonomy and settler notions of human civility – such as racial, sexual and gendered “purity”. This performance sees their bodies respond to aural and political chaos, attempting endlessly to bypass the harsh realities of heteronormative authoritarianism.

Picture this: your mum belly-flopps purposefully onto her birthday cake. Your mum gets into a scuffle at your high school art exhibition. Your mum strips bare at a Cold Chisel concert. Perfect Child, a reworking of Annaliese Constable's NWF2016 work, Mummy Dearest,  holds a magnifying glass to families, addiction, mental illness and magpie attacks.

All-in-One Solution for Glowing Fairness is NWF2020 artist, Andy Butler's exhibition that explores the complex and contradictory forces that pull people from the margins into the centre. When an artistic, cultural and political history that has never quite cared for you wants to give you a platform based on diversity – after a lifetime of insisting on assimilation – what are the limits of the tools you’re given?

How do we grapple with power? Our present moment feels defined by a dystopic rise of political and economic power in the hands of the few – and a concomitant rise of attempts to bring about collective action, hope and alternative futures. Hear NWF2020 artist Neika Lehman with Sumudu Samarawickrama, Manisha Anjali, Abdulrahman Hammoud and Piri Altraide and moderator Khalid Warsame respond to questions of power – on decentring it, burning it down, or generating it somewhere else.

Under the mentorship of NW alumni Ryan Presley and Yhonnie Scarce, ten artists working through Arts Ceduna have created the exhibition No Black Seas, examining a contentious plan to drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight. The artists have developed new works investigating the use of glass, photography, film and installation, exploring cultural and personal connections with the lands and waters of the Bight, revealing that oil drilling poses not only an environmental risk but a threat to their homelands and cultural identity.
