Gabriela Renee is an artist and curator based in Melbourne (Wurundjeri Country) originally from Canberra (Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country). Her multidisciplinary practice critically engages with themes of identity, diaspora, and cultural disconnection—reflecting her Sinhalese, Malayali, English, Shetlander, German, and Irish heritage as well as her Australian/Malaysian culture.

Through immersive installations, Renee reimagines archival imagery and familiar objects to examine how these materials can reconstruct fragmented identities and create new connections to the past. Her practice interrogates the complexities of mixed hybrid identities and diasporic communities, while questioning the cultural significance of the document and the crucial role memory plays in shaping our sense of belonging.
