Hannah Brontë

First Thursdays

4 May 2017
6pm–10pm

  • Event Cost:
    Free

Join artist Hannah Brontë as she takes over the IMA courtyard with a tropical neon-lit wonderland titled The Venus Fly Trap. Brontë is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brisbane who explores female empowerment in music videos, banners, and performance, to challenge current societal structures and imagine matriarchal futures.

The evening will include performances by fierce female rappers Jesswar, Miss BlanksG.Elenil, Aywin, and Kaylah Truth, with DJ Damelia taking over the decks. For one night only, the IMA will be transformed into a diamante-incrusted lair that Brontë invites you to immerse yourself within, and join her as a performer in her live music video, becoming a part of the final artwork.

This is a free event. Register your spot on Eventbrite here.

Guest Info
  • Hannah Brontë

    Hannah Brontë is an artist living and working on Yugambeh country. Brontë’s body of works explores the female experience, young women’s and mother’s journeys, and spiritual connections. Her journey of self discovery and the tangled layers of the human experience drive her to create dreamscapes exploring what could be. Hannah embraces multiple mediums including video, textiles, and soundscapes, and combines these to create visually distinctive works with a kaleidoscopic lens. In addition to being an artist, Hannah Bronte is a DJ, mother of Fempre$$, and training to be a birthing Doula.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
