  Naretha Williams, Wiradjuri, b. 1977, Melbourne (Wurundjeri/Boonwurrung), based in Byron Bay (Arakwal Bundjalung). Naretha Williams is an interdisciplinary artist whose bloodlines are Wiradjuri (NSW), English, Irish and Chinese. She creates work that explores, questions, provokes and dismantles ideas around identity, culture, esoteric knowledge and contemporary shamanics. Consistently challenging assumptions on authenticity, her work often takes place in grey areas, and lines are deliberately blurred. As an interdisciplinary artist her process is fundamental to the work itself, and she is continually excited about the alchemy of art. She is an experienced performer, production technician and artistic creator, and has toured nationally and internationally with both Indigenous and non-indigenous productions.
