Kim Mahood

Kim Mahood is the author of the award-winning memoir Craft for a Dry Lake, (Random House 2000), and Position Doubtful, (Scribe 2016), which explores the relationships between Aboriginal and settler Australians, and between people, art and country in the Tanami Desert. 
​
She has co-ordinated projects involving collaboration between Indigenous and non-indigenous artists, custodians and scientists, and facilitated cultural and environmental mapping projects with Aboriginal groups in the Kimberley, Central Australia and western NSW. She has worked in various capacities as a consultant, facilitator and writer for the Canning Stock Route art project, the Martu art project 'We Don't Need a Map', and the Seven Sisters Songlines project.

Her art practice explores the interface between Aboriginal and western representations of landscape/country, and includes collaborations with the Walmajarri painter Veronica Lulu, and artist/photographer the late Pamela Lofts. These collaborations explore the complexities and differences between embodied and mediated art practices.
