Artists Cynthia Florek, Neda Taha and Azzam Mohamed came together for Critical Path, examining their practices and their relation to contemporary art contexts, PYT Fairfield.

“There were definitely days where I thought… I am so done, I don’t know what I’m doing and then someone would do something, they’d bring a new thing and I’d be like… this is awesome this is why I showed up, this is why I got out of bed.”

“I came in originally just wanting to work on my Tongan dancing and possibly crossing that with hip hop and then each day… we have a discussion and I’m like, I can do this and it has nothing to do with Tongan dancing or hip hop dancing, it’s just movement”

“I know the title is called Why Is this mine? But my answer is 'why not?'…you acknowledging yourself first… your heritage, where you come from… It’s about what you bring to the table and how you represent yourself.”
