Nadeena Dixon

Born in Sydney in 1969

Nadeena Dixon is a Gadigal ,Dharawal, Yuin Wiradjuri , NSW First Nations multidisciplinary artist , Adjunct Professor , researcher and Master Weaver , working across expanded media, conceptual systems, and Indigenous temporal frameworks. Her practice spans speculative narrative architecture, thread-based cultural methodologies, ritual performance, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and multi platform AI-integrated spatial systems.

Central to Dixon’s work is her weaving practice, rooted in ancient First Nations traditions of net-making, basketry, and fibre construction. These forms are reconfigured through contemporary methodologies to function as spatial declarations of cultural survival. Using traditional techniques alongside reclaimed and found materials, Dixon creates woven sculptural forms that hold space physically and symbolically—communicating the resilience of Indigenous knowledge systems through the language of form, fibre, and structure.

Her thread weaving and fibre-based constructions operate as materially embedded cultural technologies—mnemonic structures that enact continuity through embodied spatial presence. In dialogue with her screen-based and siteresponsive works, Dixon constructs multitemporal spatial environments: immersive, non-linear narrative systems that draw on Indigenous temporal logic and speculative world-building.

Rejecting Western disciplinary boundaries, Dixon positions her practice as an expanded Indigenous systems methodology, where media, movement, material, and memory converge. Her works are physical representations—of First Nations cosmologies and cultural systems, architected through ritual, material research, and epistemic resistance. By integrating ancestral techniques with emergent and experimental technologies, Dixon bridges ancestral inheritance with future-facing architectures. Her work proposes new spatial narratives for sovereign cultural realities —where ritual, resistance, and relational mapping unfold within sculptural, performative, and digital forms, installation and multi art forms.
