Pia Johnson is a visual artist, photographer, curator and lecturer living on Djaara country, Australia. Her practice is engaged in performance, transcultural identity and belonging, stemming from her mixed background of Chinese Italian-Australian descent. Her works have been awarded and exhibited across Australia and internationally and are collected in private and public collections including the National Gallery of Victoria.

Known as one of Australia’s distinctive performance photography and portrait artists for over a decade, Pia has commissions from all the major performing arts organisations in Australia. Pia received the 2023 Kerri Hall Fellowship for Performing Arts at the State Library of Victoria and was an Artist in Residence at the Immigration Museum Victoria where her project Re-Orient was exhibited in 2024.

Pia has her own podcast Out of the Frame: Conversations about Photography, which profiles contemporary photographers and artists speaking about their practice and photographic concerns today.
