BERRY SHOWGROUND PAVILION
Jaz Corr is an Aboriginal Visual Artist who resides on the South Coast of NSW, Australia. A graduate of Curtin University Western Australia (Boodja) as an Undergraduate Bachelor of Arts (Double Major Fine Art and Visual Culture) and a postgraduate Master of Education (Visual Arts) from the University of Wollongong.
As a proud Dharawal woman, her curiosity of the world has inspired a varied amount of artwork that reflects a critical view of social, political, cultural, and environmental issues. Jaz’s art practice demonstrates effective visual communication appropriate to both studio practice and art critical discourse. She has exhibited works in Sapporo Japan, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery, Sydney Living Museum, Gerringong Library and Museum, Illawarra Aboriginal Corporation Cultural Centre, Nan Tien Art Gallery and featured on the ABC . She was also the designer of the 2023 Kiama Jazz Festival artwork.
For OpenField, Jaz will be creating a new work with paint and tar that explores truth telling about the Aboriginal history of the Boon Ca Ree (Berry) brothers Broughton (c.1798 - c1850) and Broger (c.1800-1830).
She will also be speaking as part of the First Nations Voices Panel on Sunday 25 June at 3pm in the Berry School of Arts. Tickets $10 here.
