Concettina Inserra and Natalie Thomas are Melbourne-based artists who studied art in the 1990s. Their projects involve a broad range of media such as photography and performance. While they both pursue individual artistic practices, they often work in collaboration with each other and with other artists. Inserra and Thomas won the Bowness Photography Prize in 2008 for their work Portrait of mother and daughter, after Mirka, 2008. After winning the prize, the artists collaborated on further projects, including more inspired by Mirka Mora and another about the performance artist Leigh Bowery.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
