Following a circuitous, serendipitous path, Hannah Mathews has forged a career in the contemporary arts through strong relationships, trust, and the support to be experimental. As general manager of Western Australia’s iconic Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Hannah has developed a mandate focused on collaboration, openness, and the ability to eschew modesty to properly celebrate the incredible work that is happening in the Perth arts scene. In this conversation with Ricky Arnold, Hannah discusses how boundaries can be broken, how the Perth Cultural Centre is a misunderstood precinct containing magic, and how the long, magnetic force of PICA brought her to a place where the arts can be given room to thrive and support an artist throughout their entire careers. From arts intern to general manager, Hannah Mathews demonstrates how persistence and curiosity can lead to great things.
