Amanda Bennetts

Amanda Bennetts is an Australian new media and installation artist based on the Sunshine Coast (Kabi Kabi Country). Living with a progressive neurological disease and a rare muscular disease, Bennetts harnesses her lived experience to critically explore themes of care, illness, and disability. She creates large immersive installations that intertwine materiality with emerging technologies, video, sound, and mass-produced items, drawing on clinical and disability aesthetics to probe the politically-charged and socially-determined experience of living as an ill body.
