Watch Jude Muduioa's Jude Muduioa collaborative Makers Project unfold in the studio! ✨Follow along as she undertakes her residency in the Ipswich Art Workshop.

Residency Dates: 17 August 2026 — 4 September 2026

Jude Muduioa is a ceramic artist who uses repetition and componentry to represent community and talk about identity.

Her practice is a meditation on identity, community and belonging, shaped by the experience of living between cultures. Working primarily with clay, she uses making as a way to navigate the in-between spaces formed by migration, spaces where language, memory and place shift and overlap. Clay becomes both anchor and interpreter, allowing her to work through ideas slowly, through touch, observation and repetition.

She creates objects that, through repetition and abundance, communicate a language of quiet gestures, subtle acts of care, adaptation and resilience. These small, attentive decisions mirror the everyday efforts that sustain communities. Her process is grounded in material exploration and often extends into community engagement, where making becomes a shared act of recognition. Through these clay-based works, she seeks to open space for reflection and connection, inviting others to notice the delicate ties that hold us together despite difference.

People of Ipswich is a love letter to the city by award-winning photographer Amanda Waschevski.

This exhibition is a visual celebration of diversity, humanity, and our shared sense of place. This project reimagines the gallery experience through a "Reverse Exhibition", where the creative process becomes the artwork itself.

The Ipswich Community Gallery transforms into a functioning portrait studio. Up to 200 residents are invited to sit for a professional black-and-white portrait, capturing the essence of our city through its people. Rather than opening with finished works, the exhibition grows in real time: as each image is printed on-site using archival materials, it is immediately added to the gallery walls, building a collective mosaic of the community.
