Olivia (Liv) is a dynamic and dedicated emerging curator, passionate about learning and contributing to the diverse arts and cultural landscape in Naarm.

Her practice investigates themes of Diaspora, Afrofuturism, identity, and cultural resilience, focusing on how these elements can foster meaningful dialogue, shared knowledge, and community connection.

Undertaking her Honours in Curating at Monash Uni, Liv researched and developed her curatorial practice to explore the ability of music and food as a medium to articulate emotion, memories, creole language and Relation. A person of colour (POC) and a member of the queer community, she offers a unique perspective that enriches contributions and supports inclusive and innovative work.

She is has just finished up as an intern curatorial assistant at Liquid Architecture where she contributed to philanthropic development, event management, production and more. Liv is also a recently appointed member of collective We Eatin’ Good, a queer, collaborative cooking show dedicated to amplifying Queer, Black, Indigenous, and PoC voices. Liv has organised her own events at bars and restaurants that celebrate Mauritian music and food, showcasing interest in diverse cultural communities.

During her Bachelors of Art History and Curating, Liv volunteered with First Nations gallery, Blak Dot Gallery, which transformed her whole practice to be one of celebration, inclusivity and extending beyond the white cube in gallery, art and music setting.
