Who we are
ALL is an artist-led collective, co-founded by Fayen d’Evie, Jon Tjhia and Lloyd Mst.
Fayen d’Evie
Fayen is an artist and academic at the forefront of artist-led and disability-led experimental art and design. In 2015, in response to degenerative vision, Fayen re- oriented her creative practice through blindness. This has led to influential exhibitions and scholarship, offering critical and imaginative methods that welcome audiences into sensory encounters with artworks, tactile performances, experimental audiodescription, gestural typography, and access as a force for creative collaboration.
Fayen is a lecturer in the Master of Communication Design programme of RMIT University, teaching experimental typography, curatorial and exhibition design, and studios grounded in access and transformative pedagogies.

Lloyd has undertaken learning within the Masters of Communication Design program at RMIT, building on his earlier studies at Werkplaats Typografie at ISIA in Urbino, Italy.
