About Morgan Hogg (she/her)

Morgan Hogg is a Cook Island-Australian artist and creative producer living and working on unceded Wangal and Gadigal lands. Through the perspective of her Kūki Airani heritage, descending from the Ngati Tane tribe, Hogg utilises installation and performance as visual representations of her own exploration of cultural displacement and identity. 

Making space within her practice to rely on oral exchange between her familial relations and community, Hogg continues the story of her ancestry through maintaining traditional practices within a contemporary lense. In engaging with this form, she creates spaces of ancestral belonging within her institutionalised upbringing in Australia.
