Alana Hunt is interested in the social, cultural and political happenings that impact upon our daily lives, informing and shaping our ideas, our experiences and our actions. She explores this predominately through an inter-disciplinary art practice that often lingers on the minute narratives embedded in, complicating, and beautifying life, while drawing upon a range of participatory and conceptual artistic traditions, as well as old and new media forms. Alana also writes (often in fragments), occasionally works with film and radio, and is often initiating various kinds of culturally charged encounters.

Upcoming....

From late July through to December this year I will be participating in Splendid Arts Lab 2010. Piled in with a bunch of other people, we'll spend our time thinking about ways to fill Splendour in the Grass 2011 with wonderful and perhaps inconspicuous art works. For those with a little bit of spare internet time you can check out whats running through these thoughts on the Splendid Blog.

As part of the S.LOW cross disciplinary project taking place in Berlin later this month, on the 19th of August It's a human relations thing, a little video I made last year about the curious toilet signs that were used to discuss issues of cleanliness in the bathrooms of a female student hostel I was staying in at the time, will be screened at the event Emerging Economies/ refreshing the art scene? curated by Ima Pico (black duck) and Christina Ghetti (RED NOMADE).

At the Fraser Studios Residency Program, from August through to September, I will be exploring an ongoing interest of mine about how the nation making project of late-colonialism continues to intervene and impact upon our daily lives. In particular I will be thinking about personal experiences in and the politics of places such as Sydney, Taree and Kashmir.
