recent & ONGOING PROJECTS:

Traversing across boarders and disciplines, Maverick Arts is currently working with artists and organisations in Alba/Scotland, and in so-called Australia.

Take a look below to see what we’re currently working on (in alphabetical order).

Billy Klotsa’s ‘i can feel the soil’

Working with filmmaker and visual artist Billy Klotsa, as creative producer on their forthcoming short film i can feel the soil. Working with an interdisciplinary team from Scotland, England, Sweden, Italy and Greece, this project explores the archetype of mother and experiences of fertility through the lens of a gender non-conforming artist, borrowing from Greek and Scottish mythologies and experimenting with performance and landscape as modes of storytelling.
