In this episode Miranda speaks with Pia Larsen. Pia is a Sydney based artist whose work draws from her interest in people, place and language. We talk about growing up in Sydney, chatting with Trump supporters on interstate trains, and the project she is currently working on that examines the life of a woman to whom she has attributed the pseudonym IM. IM arrived in Australia in 1948 through Australia’s Mass Resettlement Scheme and Pia examines her experiences in relation to the discourses of gender, culture, and history. Pia’s exhibition Dreams of Another Life is on display at the Mildura Arts Centre through 29 November 2020.
