Aliyah Winter is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Her research-based practice extends across photography, video, and performance, and often draws on historical material, with a particular focus on language, voice, and the queer body.
October 1935 takes its name from a poem by Ursula Bethell, written in mourning for her companion, Effie Pollen.
