Merinda
Davies

Merinda Davies (b.1991) is an artist using performance, movement, installation and conversation to question the current structural paradigms of inequality. Her work is inspired by the environment, human and more-than-human social structures and the possibilities available to us in future imaginings. Her practice aims to find clarity and connection in the external world through deep listening, observation, and research into the emotional and physical states in our internal worlds. She grew up on Bundjalung Country in Northern NSW, and is currently living on Kombumerri Country in the Yugambeh region of South East QLD, Australia. Merinda’s solo and collaborative projects have most recently been commissioned by: CoCA Ōtautahi/Christchurch Aotearoa/New Zealand, Moreton Bay Regional Gallery, Arts Northern Rivers/Lismore Regional Gallery, HOTA, Home of the Arts, Metro Arts, Institute of Modern Art, Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, City of Gold Coast, Outer Space and The Walls Artspace. She is currently an artist in Generate GC, an initiative between City of Gold Coast and Situate Art in Festivals.
