Jessica is a multi-disciplinary artist who likes to look at her practice as a loving act of translation. She is a Ngati Hine Maori woman living on Cadigal land, and her translations come from her whakapapa, through recalling them she pays tribute to her tipuna and the many lands she inhabits. She has been working with Outloud since 2018, originally training with Zainab Kadhim and Kavita Bedford on the ‘Stories of Strength’ project.

Finn has previously worked with Perth Festival as the Young Creatives Coordinator, pvi collective as Company Coordinator, the Smith Family as the WA State Events Coordinator, Crack X Festival as Co-Artistic Director and City of Darwin as Project Officer, Youth and Community Development Department.
