Last few days to browse Aditi’s zine, “What We Miss When We Miss” as part of Platform Present’s Asian Heritage Week Naarm Show.

This work asks the audience to consider what third spaces look like in their own lives, where belonging isn’t inherited but crafted, tended & remade. It gestures toward the small, improvised constellations that make a life feel lived, the gatherings that form not from tradition but from choice. In this third space, home becomes something built together, a “family gathering” shaped by those who stay, those who return & those who meet you halfway.

𖦞.─── ·₊˚ ˖♡۫𓏼˚̣̣̣⟡ৎ ───˖𖦞.

Aditi is a Naarm based artist working mainly across performance,video, photography and book-based forms. Her practice connects instinct with knowledge, explored through movement, treating the body as a site of inquiry, responsiveness and lived intelligence.

Her work is conceptual and emerges from close observation, lived experience and critical analysis of the world she moves through. This is shaped by an ongoing engagement with human psychology & social philosophy, through which she traces patterns in behaviour, systems and ways of being. Her work is heavily influenced by her migration journey, complexities of cultural displacement- a body that is always in flux- and the ongoing political realities of the world. Her creative practice functions as practice-based research: a process through which knowledge is tested, generated and articulated by doing.

Last few days to browse Aditi’s zine, “What We Miss When We Miss” as part of Platform Present’s Asian Heritage Week Naarm Show.

This work asks the audience to consider what third spaces look like in their own lives, where belonging isn’t inherited but crafted, tended & remade. It gestures toward the small, improvised constellations that make a life feel lived, the gatherings that form not from tradition but from choice. In this third space, home becomes something built together, a “family gathering” shaped by those who stay, those who return & those who meet you halfway.

𖦞.─── ·₊˚ ˖♡۫𓏼˚̣̣̣⟡ৎ ───˖𖦞.

Aditi is a Naarm based artist working mainly across performance,video, photography and book-based forms. Her practice connects instinct with knowledge, explored through movement, treating the body as a site of inquiry, responsiveness and lived intelligence.

Her work is conceptual and emerges from close observation, lived experience and critical analysis of the world she moves through. This is shaped by an ongoing engagement with human psychology & social philosophy, through which she traces patterns in behaviour, systems and ways of being.

Last few artists to spotlight from our Asian Heritage Week, Naarm Show ꨄ︎

1. Chok
Chok is a Melbourne-based photographer and creative exploring identity, memory, and cultural narratives through conceptual and editorial imagery. Her work often merges fashion, psychology, and storytelling, using visual aesthetics to examine themes like power, femininity, and belonging within Asian contexts. She’s drawn to creating dreamlike yet intimate spaces that question authenticity, performance, and self-expression, often blending nostalgic references with contemporary tensions to evoke quiet emotional journeys within personal and collective identities.

2. Jane Goh
Jane Goh is an artist and curator based in Naarm/Melb. Growing up with an artist grandfather and an artist mother, art has always been a way for her to understand her life and the things around her, while also exploring everything that isn’t there but could be. Working as a curator in Asian Art, Jane employs the knowledge from her curating practice in her own artistic journey, creating an integration of her East Asian culture with surrealism.

3. Sammy
Sammy is fascinated by intersections of identity that cultivate unique lived experiences, yet provide a strong point of connection to others. As a second generation immigrant in Australia with Chinese heritage, Sammy likes to explore themes of culture, environment and positionality, with a particular interest in artifacts and nature. She enjoys experimenting with different mediums, but is drawn to printing techniques like lino cut and etching.

4. Wanissa
Born and raised in Bangkok, Wanissa is a tattoo artist based in Naarm/Melb, currently working from Milk Bar Studio. She is especially drawn to florals and ornamentals, taking inspiration from patterns, tiles and fabrics from around the world. Drawing from her diasporic background, she is continually inspired by the way tattoos can shape, express and affirm one’s cultural identity and sense of belonging.

Spotlighting Madfox today, an artist part of our Naarm Asian Heritage Week exhibition; a name that needs very little introduction. Maggie is a returning Platform artist whose work we’ve been lucky to share across both performance and photography in previous exhibitions.

Unfoldment: 家 is an ongoing exploration of what remains when performance dissolves. Beginning as a live multimedia work in November 2023—merging spoken word poetry, film photography, and dance—the project has now evolved into a tapestry that asks: what leaves behind when the performance ends?

In this new work, Madfox turns inward to explore home as something felt rather than fixed. Through saturated, nostalgic imagery and the language of snack packaging drawn from childhood memory, she builds a visual world that holds comfort and concealment at once. What appears soft and familiar begins to reveal something more complex beneath the surface.

We’re honoured to present this next chapter of her practice with Platform.

Maggie ‘Madfox’ Chen is an Australian-based Chinese dancer, artist, arts worker, community producer, filmmaker and photographer. Her work spans multiple mediums that explores reflection, curiosity, and personal expression, capturing emotions and everyday stories. She sees all art as connected to the human experience.

1. Jackie Zhou
Jackie Zhou is a multi-hyphenate creative based in Bunurong Country, primarily practiced in writing across professional and passionate projects. He draws on his ancestral ties to North and Eastern regions of China in visual routines of organic patterns and shapes, spanning photography, linoprinting and collaging.

Introducing our last Summer Daze artist: Kazvyn Yew

This work captures the radiant energy of the Australian summer through vivid and expressive sun-soaked colour. Painted with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, the work depicts three figures imagined as “children of the sun,” basking beneath an expansive blue sky. The word sun is written repeatedly across the sky, inviting viewers to imagine the many forms of sun they may encounter - sometimes harsh, or playful, but also at times, comforting and restorative.

Yew hopes to encourage a pause from the haze of daily routine, framing Summer as a moment of photosynthesis for the audience, a time to recharge, to play, and to reset for the year ahead.

─── ⋆｡°☼°｡⋆ ───

Kazvyn Yew is a Naarm-based painter. Born and raised in Malaysia, before settling in Melbourne via Thailand and Sydney, Yew works primarily with acrylic and oil pastel on canvas. By combining vibrant palettes with expressive mark-making, Yew creates whimsical figures and environments that invite curiosity through a lens of cheeky, child-like wonder and playfulness.
