Collaborative, risk-taking and future focused, APHIDS is led by Lara Thoms and Mish Grigor. APHIDS makes experimental work across artforms and contexts: in public space, festivals, digital platforms, across visual and performing arts, major institutions and beyond. They have been presented in every state and territory in Australia, from the Malthouse Theatre to the Art Gallery of SA. We have engaged audiences in samurai hotels in Japan, churches in Finland, community halls in regional towns, drive-ins and even beamed art into outer space.

APHIDS includes the triad of Amrita Hepi, Amaara Raheem, and Sammaneh Pourshafighi, through a peer-based approach to art-making, knowledge sharing and cross disciplinary exchange from diverse viewpoints.
