Hanna Cormick
Hanna Cormick is a Finnish-Australian artist creating across fields of performance art, theatre, dance, curation and crip activism, with a creative ethos that prioritises anti-extractivism, climate justice and access rights. Cormick's current practice is a reclamation of body through radical visibility.

Cormick's varied practice has also included previous work co-founding Australian interdisciplinary art-science group Last Man To Die, as one half of Parisian cirque-cabaret duo Les Douleurs Exquises, and as a mask artist in France (apprenticing under Stefano Perocco di Meduna) and Indonesia (mentored by Ida Bagus Anom).

about Conductive Site
Conductive Site is an online program of artworks by six diverse, interdisciplinary artists – Hanna Cormick, Riana Head-Toussaint, Shareeka Helaluddin, Lost all Sorts Collective, Jamila Main, and Daniel Savage – curated by interdisciplinary disabled/crip artist Riana Head-Toussaint.
This collective of artists is unified by a shared interest in grappling with issues of space as it relates to agency, care, community, liberation, reclamation, perception, and disconnection – as well as our prescribed and unprescribed understanding of what it means to “access” space. Unfurling here on the Firstdraft website, Conductive Site aims to create movement, conversation and change through radical re-considerations of so-called public space.
