Shannon May Powell is a poet, artist and somatic therapist whose work poses gestures of longing towards new possibilities of gender, sexuality and identity in a posthumanist world. Their practice is grounded in the body and relationally activated by the people and places they collaborate with. Alongside their own creative practice, they work as an artistic director at Blindside Gallery in Melbourne, where they take pleasure in supporting artists to bring their vision to life. This year they have been awarded a fellowship at The State Library Wheeler Centre in Melbourne where they are working on a new book.
