Biographies

Prairie Hatchard-McGill was born and raised in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, where she lives. Hatchard-McGill gained her BFA (Hons) from the Te Waka Tūhura Elam School of Fine Arts and Design in 2021. She has presented her broad ranging practice spanning sculpture and performance that draws from countercultural histories, glamour, and sexuality in several public contexts including: Signature Print (2022), Neo Gracie, Hatchard-McGill and Ward (2021), SaatchiSaatchi&Saatchi both in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland; and Prairie’s Drama Club (2022-2023) a workshop organised with multiple collaborators, culminating in a film of the same name directed by Finnbar Porteous.

Angela Pan is a Chinese-New Zealand artist born and living in Tāmaki Makaurau. Pan completed a Master of Fine Arts with First Class Honours at the Te Waka Tūhura Elam School of Fine Arts and Design in 2023. Her wide practice spans 3D-animation, film, fashion, sculpture, photography, game art, and painting where she fragments and layers existing representations to incite opportunities for epistemological slippages and transcendence. This year she presented How to Become a Magical Girl: 少·法·魔·女 at play_station, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.
