Join artist and educator Annabelle McEwen to learn first hand about the different processes she employs in her practice


Annabelle McEwen (She/They) is an artist and educator practising on unceded Gadigal Land and Dharug Land (Australia) with a Masters of Fine Art. McEwen’s practice employs photography, printmaking, casting and digital-technologies examining the impact of extraction and digitally mediated experiences on users and the virtual gaze on the body. McEwen unpacks the power of artifice inherent in images and the way users are manipulated and impacted by images within the algorithmically curated attention economy.

McEwen interrogates the surveilled body, speculating on ways its extraction is shaping user’s agency and the resulting epistemological shifts in our digital-milieu. ​McEwen ruptures the artifice of the image, using physicality and the art object as solid corporeal statements, standing unswerving amongst the fluid cycle of content we consume and generate.

Join Annabelle for a relaxed and inspiring conversation.
