ARTIST TALK: SHERRY QUIAMBAO | National Photographic Portrait Prize 2025

ARTIST TALK: SHERRY QUIAMBAO

Join us at the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery to gain some unique insights from one of the Western Australian National Photographic Portrait Prize 2025 Finalists, Sherry Quiambao, as she discusses her artwork Mother dreams on a stone.

About Sherry:
Sherry Quiambao is an Australian multidisciplinary artist of Filipina heritage, based in Perth/Boorloo, Western Australia. Working across photography, video, sculpture, and installation, her practice explores memory, cultural heritage, and the ways material culture and everyday objects shape belonging and self-image.

Sherry’s international trajectory began early, when she was invited to exhibit at the Embassy of Australia in Washington DC as part of Lie of the Land (2012). She has since undertaken residencies and projects in the Philippines and Indonesia. In 2025 she was awarded the BREEZE PICA International Studio Residency in Makassar, Sulawesi, where she developed new work exploring water as a vessel of memory and exchange.

Her work has been exhibited across Australia, the Philippines, Japan and in the United States, with outcomes including a Perth Festival exhibition - de-centre re-centre (2025) LWAG x PCP, and recognition such as the National Photographic Portrait Prize (finalist & First Time Finalist Award Winner, 2025).
