Creative Catch Up Deakin Venice Biennale Mentorship Opportunity 2024.
Wyndham Arts & Culture is hosting the very first Creative Catch-up of 2025!
Join us and hear from the inaugural recipient of the Venice Biennale Artist Residency, The Artist Known as FOOT about their at experiences. The conversation and QnA will be led by Annette Wagner (Wunder Gym).
In 2024, Wyndham City partnered with Deakin University to support a local artist to work on the international stage at the Venice Biennale with host organisation, the European Cultural Centre, on the project, Venetian Bind, curated by Cameron Bishop and David Cross.
When: Wednesday February 26, 6-7.30pm.
The opportunity aimed to foster the creative skills of a local practitioner and build the creative capacity of the Wyndham community by encouraging cross-cultural exchange. It provided a rare platform for a Wyndham artist to develop and profile their practice alongside creative artists and researchers from across the disciplinary spectrum at Deakin University, with the exhibition of a series of resolved collaborative works at Palazzo Mora, Venice, in October and November 2024.
This Creative Catch Up will give you an opportunity to hear FOOT and Annette Wagner in conversation about their experience at the Venice Biennale, the nature of collaboration in the context of a residency and the benefits of cross-cultural exchange.
Join us for the conversation and stay the opportunity to catch up with other local creatives.

ABOUT ARTIST KNOWN AS FOOT
The Artist Known as FOOT is a non-binary, queer multidisciplinary artist based on Wadawurrung land in Melbourne’s outer west. Working within textiles, photography, and performance, they are known for their unique and absurdist takes on gender identity, sustainability, and beauty standards through the lens of sustainability, place, and reclamation. With a passion for uplifting the image of fat and queer bodies, their colourful and nostalgic works have been featured within festivals nationally, galleries both nationally and overseas, and Australia’s National Association for the Visual Arts. Their works are held in various collections across Australia, including the Blacktown Gallery permanent collection in Sydney.
