Emma Harbridge
Emma Harbridge is a mixed-race Chinese-Caucasian Australian emerging artist, who grew up as a settler on stolen and unceded Darug land (Granville) and is currently living and practicing on Wangal and Gadigal land (Strathfield and Sydney). Her practice is concerned with interpretations of food practices as a form of healing, mutual aid, community, and a self-constructive tool for diasporic identity. She interrogates systems that exploit and alienate working class communities and is ongoingly learning and unlearning ways to be anti-capitalist and decolonial in her work. Emma's practice moves across the mediums of moving image, sound, ceramics, performance, writing and drawing. In her video works she integrates a documentary style to her narrative voice. Emma graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Gender Studies from the University of Sydney in 2019 and is currently in her second year of her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at UNSW A&D.
