The Biennale of Sydney welcomes Emma Perera, Associate Director of Universal Magazines, to our Board of Directors.

Emma Perera is an experienced and passionate media professional who has managed some of Australia’s most popular print brands over the last 15 years. She is currently a director at Universal Media Co and has a background in law. Early in her career Emma volunteered her time to the Arts Law Centre of Australia, a not-for-profit that provides advice to artists and creative communities and is the preeminent authority on artists’ rights and arts law in Australia.

Emma Perera shares her enthusiasm: “For me, the Biennale of Sydney is one of the most exciting events on the Australian cultural calendar, and as a supporter of artists and creators across a diverse range of mediums, I find it extremely significant. With my professional life being dedicated to engaging audiences and communities through meaningful messaging, I am enormously excited to be joining the Biennale of Sydney’s Board of Directors and working alongside them and the whole team to contribute to its future editions.”

​Kate Mills, Chairman of the Biennale of Sydney, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Emma Perera to the Biennale of Sydney board. Emma’s extensive experience in media, coupled with her deep commitment to the arts and artists’ rights, will bring invaluable insight to our team. Her passion for fostering creative communities aligns perfectly with our mission, and we look forward to her contributions as we continue to celebrate and support contemporary art on a global scale.”
