Olivia Maday is a multidisciplinary artist working in video, sound, and installation. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Maday's work challenges the historic objectification of the female body, subverting gendered power dynamics and celebrating women's bodies as sites of empowerment, resistance, and pleasure. By employing the dichotomy between seduction and repulsion, she dismantles traditional narratives surrounding femininity and sexuality. Through on-screen performance, she asserts her own subjectivity in the film and media landscape, highlighting the dynamic nature inherent in women.
 

Maday’s solo exhibitions include Without the Divine (2025) at Living Arts of Tulsa and Fleisch (2023) at Mission Hill Gallery in Boston. She has participated in a variety of group exhibitions, including internationally at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg, Germany, and the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art in Gimpo, South Korea. In 2023, she was awarded the Hamburg Exchange Fellowship through Tufts University and has received additional support from the Montague International Travel Grant and the Becker Emergency Artist Grant. She previously served as the Post Graduate Teaching Fellow in Curatorial Practice and Media Arts At the SMFA and Currently she teaches digital media courses at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
