Gabi Briggs

Gabi Briggs is an Anaiwan gedyura research-based artist, weaver, and community organiser. Her practice reflects a commitment to returning back to Indigenous knowledges specifically through the walking of Country and embracing Anaiwan principles and ways of being and knowing. With a focus on the climate crisis, Briggs engages with the complexities of race, power, and truth-telling through her art, seeking to restore Indigenous sovereignty and enact self-determination with an emphasis on slow, considered and meaningful practice. She is a 2023 recipient of the Australian Council for the Arts & Creative NZ Digital Fellowship, a founding member of Newara Aboriginal Corporation and a PhD candidate in the Wominjeka Djeembana Research Lab at Monash University.
