FOR ADVANCE INFORMATION AND ONLINE ACCESS

 

Congratulations to Sammy Hawker who has been awarded the Ian Potter Cultural Trust Emerging Artist Grant. This definitive support will contribute towards assisting Sammy to undergo a partnered International artist exchange program to present her first international solo show ‘Ghosts’ at Messums West in October 2025 exhibiting work she has been developing at The Corridor Project between 2023-5.

“We are delighted that Sammy Hawker has been awarded the IPF grant to share her work and delve into the landscape. Working on the East Coast of England around Lowestoft in partnership with Messums East will provide opportunities for a local and international community to engage in research led creativity and understanding along this ancient coastline. The outcome will form part of the new archive of materials being built in Lowestoft to provide a legacy and an ongoing source of creativity for the area” – Johnny Messums

The exchange program between The Corridor Project and Messums | ORG supports Australian and UK artists through cross-cultural dialogue, exhibitions, public programs and peer-to-peer exchange.

 

 

Biography 

Sammy Hawker

[
- Present ]
Sammy Hawker is an Australian-based visual artist working predominantly on Ngunawal/Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country [Canberra Region, ACT]. Through practices of reciprocity (facilitated acts of co-creation) Sammy’s works explore the potential of interspecies dialogue, giving voice to the presences of more-than human worlds. These works raise questions about how sentience and memory is inscribed within materials, sites and bodies. Sammy’s multi-disciplinary practice embraces text, sculpture, photography, sound and moving image. These works form a vast and ongoing archive, documenting sites and moments of exchange.
