Camila Galaz | ‘Here we go, Dearie. It’s on me.’ | 2021)
Camila Galaz is a Chilean-Australian visual artist and filmmaker based in New York.

She is the recipient of the 2018 MECCA M-Power Scholarship from the National Gallery of Victoria, the 2019-2021 Australia Council EMPAC New York Residency, and a 2021 LA County Vibrant Cities Arts Grant. In 2019 she presented a Writing & Concepts lecture at the National Gallery of Victoria (Questioning Existence with the Subjunctive [Spanish Demystified]), and a four-part workshop for Channels Video Art Biennale (Time, After Time: A Reenactment Workshop). Recent projects include: a reenactment of Crocodile Dundee III through Instagram stories for Outback Arthouse, Los Angeles (Dead End. Brilliant.); a pandemic vlog within the video game Animal Crossing for West Space, Melbourne (STUDIO VLOG); a meta-analysis of Camus’ The Plague, curated by Sabrina Baker (Unwelcome Visitant); and an interactive web-based essay on Chilean socialist computer histories for External Pages, London (REDES: bread and justice, peaches and bananas).
