Artist Respite Program | Holly Ahern 1-10 March 2025

Holly Ahern is an early-career artist, researcher and arts worker living on Bundjalung Country. Her practice focuses on collaboration, installation, and practice-based research.

Holly’s work centres on interdisciplinary approaches, exploring public spaces as sites for artistic intervention and connection. She engages with projects that encourage meaningful connection and advocacy for sustainable creative futures in the Northern Rivers.

As the region nears the third anniversary of its major flooding event, her practice continues to reflect a deep connection to the regional ecology, evolving with sustained care and intention. Through the lens of regional witnessing, her work invites audiences to engage with the Northern Rivers in a slow, deliberate manner, offering an authentic connection to material, time and place.
