artist - curator - researcher
Venessa Possum (Starzynski) is a Muringong Baragal Custodian (Camden NSW).
My career has spanned a number of different fields including professional artist and curatorial practice. I have held roles as a creative producer and I enjoy archival research. I have a love of learning and a deep interest in how we learn. My passions include doing my best to support Aboriginal communities, I also enjoy working with artists, especially through cultural consultancy and exhibition installations. The variety of jobs I've held have exposed me to many different approaches to project management and I'm always interested to hear about new opportunities.
