Liam Benson is a multi-disciplinary socially engaged artist based on Dharug Country, Western Sydney. Incorporating performance, photography, video and textiles, his practice reflects on the exchange within identity and culture as a living dualistic process which is both informed by and challenges historical, political, and social consciousness.
Liam is the Creative Director of We Are Studios, a 100% disability-led, inclusive studio that empowers artists with disability to reach their creative potential by creating space to thrive.
Liam’s practice is informed by working collaboratively with community through creative projects that supports access and inclusion, including The Adorned Collective and We Are Studios. Liam has over a decade of experience in arts education, community engagement and creative workshop facilitation within nationwide cultural and education institutions, and community spaces.
Liam Benson’s works are held in significant public and private collections including The Art Gallery of NSW, The MCA Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, Artbank and Western Sydney University.
