Teresa Busuttil

Teresa Busuttil is a Maltese-Australian artist living between South Australia and Malta. She works across sculpture, installation, photography and moving image to blend personal stories, family history and fantasy.

Often using found or repurposed materials, she draws on a range of cultural and historical references to examine the dualities and contradictions of her identity and of the Mediterranean. Busuttil also worked in a South Australian community art collective, The Bait Fridge, contributing to youth and community workshops and engagement programs in regional and remote Australia.

In 2024, Busuttil was selected for Primavera 2024: Young Australian Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. In the same year she undertook a major commission for the inaugural Malta Biennale of Art. In 2023, she was invited to present a solo exhibition, Asleep with the Fishes, at Firstdraft, Sydney in partnership with Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) Studio Program. Other recent exhibitions include Stranger than Fiction, West Space, VIC; Passage; Murray Art Museum Albury NSW; and Studios 2023, ACE, Adelaide, SA
