Key to Brenda’s residency will be her positionality as a creative-led researcher – visual artist, curator, educator, researcher/scholar – building on her work’s inclusion in ON COUNTRY: Photography from Australia in Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, France (2025); and recent selection for the 9th Triennale of Photography, Hamburg, Germany, 2026.
