Vanessa Berry is an award-winning writer and artist who works with autobiography, history, memory and archives. Her work centres around autobiography and its formal and experimental possibilities, arising from her background in zine making and DIY literary practices. She is the author of Gentle and Fierce (Giramondo 2021) an essay collection about human and animal interrelationships, and Mirror Sydney: an atlas of reflections (Giramondo 2017), a collection of essays and hand-drawn maps that investigate the city’s marginal places and undercurrents, based on the popular blog Mirror Sydney. She is also the author of the memoirs Ninety 9 (Giramondo 2013) and Strawberry Hills Forever (Local Consumption Publications 2007). Her zines and artworks have been exhibited at galleries such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and National Gallery of Australia.
