Artist, author and broadcaster

Are you coming to the Designers Australia Awards this year? We are elated to reveal Tai Snaith, praised artist, author, and broadcaster will be hosting our awards event.

In parallel with our cross-award categories of place, use, and interact, Tai's multi-disciplinary work celebrates the intersection of stories, collections, people and place. She is interested in how objects like books, vessels and other utilitarian items can be powerful tools to illustrate the times we live in as well as the past. How like literature, objects can convey a deep emotional point of view. Tai has artwork in private and public collections, including Artbank, City of Banyule, NGA and State Library of Victoria, and recently commissioned series for Andaz Prague. Tai has an ongoing podcast of conversations called 'A World of One's Own' commissioned initially by ACCA, which is now in its third season. Tai also has six books published with Thames and Hudson Australia.
