Joseph O’Farrell (JOF)

Joseph O’Farrell (JOF) is a multi-art performer, curator, musician and lecturer making work between Melbourne and London. JOF creates large-scale installation and theatre works with, and for, the community. Focusing on accessibility and inclusivity, these works celebrate our diversity and bring people together in hilarious and unlikely situations. JOF strives to create a model where developing an artwork is just as valuable to the community as the final outcome.

In 2015, JOF was the first artist to deliver an intensive workshop program for young people at the TATE Modern in London. He is a founding member of junkyard theatre company The Suitcase Royale, a trio that has been touring Australian theatre works nationally and internationally since 2004.
