Aida Azin

Aida Azin is a painter, community organiser, and art facilitator based in Melbourne on the land of the Wurundjeri people. 

Born to Iranian/Filipina parents and raised in an Australian context, Aida’s artistic practice advocates conversations within and across communities about shame as a failing political tool, second-generation migrant guilt, racism, whiteness, dreams, identity, food, and culture.

Aida is a collaborating artist and organiser in ‘Saluhan’ collective, an ongoing art project that creates space for and fosters connections between artists within the Philippines and artists within Filipinx diasporas across Australia.

Since 2014 Aida has been exhibiting visual art and installations regularly.
