Jacqui Kuraj engages with her interdisciplinary art practice in photography, collage, music video, musique concrète composition and performance art.
More recently she has been increasingly active in the expanded field of film and sound based installation art. The focus of her installation proposals and interviews are very much about this particular facet of her artistic practice.
