ABOUT MARA
Mara is a composer and curator based in Eora Sydney. She plays the viola and collaborates with her laptop to create live performances and recorded pieces for film, dance, and gallery spaces. Her work is led by the shifts of perspective and interaction of rhythms and beings within environments. Mara’s most recent album At Every Corner “is a testament to her deep connection to time, place and community, as well as her skill in transforming everyday sounds into immersive auditory constructs.”
In 2019 she graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Design (Digital Media) and went on to attend LungA School (Seyðisfjörður, IS) in 2020. Since then she has curated three major exhibitions: Cycles (2021, Sheffer); Gathering Geographies(2022, Darren Knight Gallery); and Building the Palace (2023, Blindside). Mara hosts The Bridge on fbi.radio in Eora Sydney and is a resident on Fade Radio with her program Absorbed Terrain. She currently works with the Powerhouse Museum as an audio producer and researcher.
