Aphids
Founded in 1994, Aphids is artist-led, project-driven and not-for-profit. Based in Melbourne, Aphids undertakes cross-artform projects usually involving contemporary music, international cross-cultural exchanges and collaborations.
Aphids has worked with hundreds of artists in Australia and overseas, with backgrounds in music, theatre, performance, writing, puppetry, architecture, design, visual art, fashion, film, multimedia, digital art, dance, sound art and lighting.
Aphids has presented work in Australia, Asia, Europe, South Africa, Central America and the USA.
Aphids has a strong commitment to supporting artists through mentoring, project management, resource sharing and auspicing. This has been formalised in Aphids’ Residencies and Mentoring Scheme for young and emerging artists working in music and cross-artform practice, established with the support of the Sidney Myer Fund.
