Serinah Williams (She/Her) is a proud Yiman, Wulli Wulli woman living on Gubbi Gubbi land, studying to complete a Bachelor of Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art at the Queensland College of Art and Design. Williams uses a broad range of artistic mediums, focussing on the use of analogue photography as a form of truth telling. Williams has been researching the inescapable influence of the male gaze on women and feminine people, and how this has affected her own personal growth and behaviour. Alongside photography, Williams explores kitsch and crafty mediums, such as bedazzling and embroidery, challenging the patriarchal undervaluing of these types of skills due to their stereotypical association with femininity. She has a strong connection with materiality and process, often with these elements bringing deeper meaning to her work.
Serinah Williams has been involved in a wide variety of exhibitions. In 2023, Williams’ work, Disconnection (1-4), was awarded Jurors’ Pick, in Lensculture’s Black & White Photography Awards and has toured regional Queensland in the Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award Touring Exhibition by Flying Arts Alliance. She debuted her first solo show, dis(connections) in 2024 at The Hub Gallery, Caboolture Regional Art Gallery, and curated Mosaic Memories, 2024, at the Webb Gallery, QCAD. Williams is currently involved in the Queensland Regional Art Awards touring exhibition by Flying Arts Alliance where she received Highly Commended in the Emerging Artist category with her work Girlhood in Bathroom (1&2). Throughout 2024 she completed two Creative Studios Residencies at the Caboolture Hub run by the City of Moreton Bay Council. Williams was invited to participate in Undergrowth in 2024, QCAD, and has been invited for Undergrowth, 2025.
