Jordana Bragg

"Jordana Bragg is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Melbourne Australia, undertaking a MFA through Monash University. Bragg's practice spans writing, live performance, still and moving image. Concentrating on the metaphysics of love and loss, their practice discloses a characteristically dangerous personal and universal sense of vulnerability, informed by wider research around issues of identity and gender fluidity. Bragg is co-founder of the artist run initiatives Meanwhile (NZ) and Friends are Artists/Freunde sind Künstler (DE)." - text supplied by the artist
