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.

Bio

Daniel Mudie Cunningham (b. 1975) is an artist, curator, writer and lecturer who lives and works on Gadigal Country. With a career spanning three decades, his practice draws upon and remixes the image streams of art history, queer politics, pop culture, performance and music through video, photography and performance. In 2023, his work was the subject of the survey exhibition Are You There? curated by James Gatt at Wollongong Art Gallery. A comprehensive monograph will follow in 2024 with texts by Gatt, Judy Annear, Gary Carsley, José Da Silva, Helen Grace, Ann Finegan, Carrie Miller and Fiona Kelly McGregor. As curator and writer, his work has consistently engaged with queer performative art practices. Most recently as curator, he was guest co-artistic director of Liveworks for Performance Space (2023) and is the curator of Cementa (2024). He has written widely on contemporary Australian art and culture, and teaches at the National Art School.
