Anna Madeleine Raupach is an artist working in drawing, experimental animation, augmented reality (AR) and interactive installation. She completed her PhD in media arts at UNSW Art and Design in 2014, and graduated with honours in Photography & Media Arts from ANU School of Art & Design in 2007. Her practice explores time and mapping, with a current focus on reimagining abstract notions of temporality relevant to climate change.

Anna has a PhD in Media Arts from UNSW Art & Design (2014) and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from ANU School of Art & Design (2007), where she holds a Lecturer position. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Montreal and Bandung and has been awarded international residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, through the Art Gallery of NSW (2018); Common Room Network Foundation, Indonesia, with Asialink Arts (2017); and the University of Southern California, supported by ArtsACT.  Across Australia she has participated in exhibitions at Verge Gallery (Sydney), Bundanon Trust (NSW), Watch This Space (Alice Springs), Flinders Lane Gallery and Art+Climate=Change (Melbourne). Her work has been selected for prizes including the Ramsay Art Prize (2021), Blake Prize (2020),  Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize (2020) and the Churchie Emerging Arts Prize (2016).
