APHIDS LISTENS

An alternative archive where artists share a work they’ve made, and a work they’ve loved.

APHIDS LISTENS is a direct response to the current political climate of experimental arts, and operates as an ongoing living archive. A bi-monthly podcast based on long-form interviews with key artists from national experimental art communities. APHIDS invites artists to speak, in their own words, about projects of inspiration, early influences and the life of a project from conception to delivery.

EPISODE ONE

Our first conversation sees APHIDS’ Eugenia Lim speak with Amos Gebhardt about their moving image and lens-based work that offers a non-linear, non-binary space of fluidity, desire and the more-than-human. Amos transports the viewer to extraordinary landscapes through their work as they talk about leaving, arriving and working on unceded country.

EPISODE TWO

In Episode Two of APHIDS LISTENS, Lara Thoms, Co-Director of APHIDS, speaks with New York based choreographer, dancer and artist Faye Driscoll.

APHIDS acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boon wurrung peoples on whose lands we live and work. Sovereignty was never ceded and we pay our respect to past, present, and future Aboriginal elders and community, and to their long and rich history of artmaking on this Country.
