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.

Barb Miles

She/Her

Bio

Barb Miles is lesbian, artist and creative arts therapist based in Koornoo (Barwon Heads) on Wadawurrung country, Victoria, Australia. Initially trained in visual arts, her working life has crisscrossed several disciplines: environmental activism, flora and fauna conservation, youth work and returning back to the arts to work with children and adolescents who had experienced family violence. As a member of Jillposters, feminist poster group, she produced screen printed postcards during the 1980s which are held in a number of public collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the State Library of Victoria. Inspired by the natural world and unique textures of Australian Bull Kelp, her current art practice explores the intersection of creativity and ecology and is informed by her deep respect for the land, indigenous perspectives, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
