Eugenie Lee’s relationship with ANAT began with the 2015 Synapse Residency, undertaken in partnership with the Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia. The residency established lasting research connections, including her ongoing collaboration with pain scientist Dr Carolyn Berryman. Her latest project, ANAT Bespoke :: AJUMMA [Ah-Joom-Mah] WELLBEING CLINIC, is a multi-stage participatory performance installation exploring menopause through women’s lived expertise, medical research and the intersectional experiences of CripQueer diasporic women.

“Combining diverse expertise, I will create speculative social prescribing to reimagine what an alternative approach could look like — one where women’s menopause matters, and they feel seen, validated, and nurtured.”

She collaborates across the sciences, humanities, technologists, and lived-experience communities to create research-based participatory performances, installations, sculptures, and paintings. Her works were exhibited at AGNSW, Science Gallery Bengaluru, UNSW galleries, MOD., among others, and featured in The Guardian, Artlink, RealTime, The Australian, Routledge, The New York Times, ABC, and SBS Korean radio.
