Eden Menta is a multidisciplinary artist working across photography, collage, drawing and painting. Their practice draws on personal experience to question cultural assumptions and unpack ideas surrounding disability, identity and mental health. With quiet resilience, Menta navigates complex subjects while creating space for reflection and connection.
Since joining the Arts Project Australia studio in 2013, Menta has developed a distinctive visual language grounded in observation and emotional nuance. In 2024, they presented their debut solo exhibition The Little Things We Fight For as part of PHOTO24 Festival (2024). Recent group exhibitions include Protest is a creative act (2025) at the Museum of Australian Photography; Portrait23: Identity at the National Portrait Gallery (2023), the national touring exhibition FEM-AFFINITY (2021); Who’s Afraid of Public Space? (To the Street) at the Centre for Contemporary Photography (2021) and the Ballarat Foto Biennale (2019). Menta’s work is held in private collections across Australia.
