Mariadelle ‘Abbey’ Gamit is a queer pinay multidisciplinary artist & DJ previously based in Tāmaki Makaurau and now residing in Naarm. They operate and practice between both cities; keeping their connection with their community in Aotearoa, as well as building new ones in so-called Australia.
Their practice addresses themes of intersectionality, the post-digital and the tumultuous relationship between both, with mediums ranging from moving image, illustration, painting, design, 3D and sound.
Mariadelle is also a co-founder of Tāmaki-based creative collective ‘All My Friends’ alongside Tommo Jiang, Tyrun Posimani and Kevin Shen. They are also involved in the Melbourne branch of the Concerned Artists of the Philippines as well as Aotearoa & Naarm-based queer club night Nympho.
