Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

About this website

queeraustralianart.com is a free and publicly-accessible database documenting a history of queer Australian artists, artworks, exhibitions, curators and publications. The resource is the first of its kind to record Australian LGBTQI+ art history from the early 20th century to the present. As an evolving resource, future iterations of queeraustralianart.com will incorporate commissioned texts and curated presentations that deepen engagement with these histories while expanding knowledge of current practice. The database is managed by KINK, a working group of Australian artists, academics, and art historians.

Australian Centre for Contemporary Art has presented the most exhibitions which feature within this database, while the rest have have been presented by such places as Artspace, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Institute of Modern Art, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery & Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative.
