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

Drew Pettifer (b. 1980) is an artist and academic based in Naarm Melbourne. Working across photography, video, print, performance, sculpture, textiles, and installation, his practice explores queer history, the archive, power, desire, representation, and contemporary social politics. He uses creative practice as a vehicle to foreground critical queer histories which have been systematically under-represented or excluded from dominant archives. Recent exhibitions include: Closer Together, Hong Kong Arts Centre (2024); Melbourne Now, National Gallery of Victoria (2023); Forget Me Not: A queer end to the bushrangers, Sarah Scout Presents (2023); QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection, National Gallery of Victoria (2022); Too Much is Never Enough, Space Place Gallery, Russia (2021); XX, Hong Kong Art Centre (2020-21); A Sorrowful Act: The Wreck of the Zeewijk, Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, Perth (2020); Obsession: Devil in the Detail, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Mornington (2019); and Equal Love, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taipei (2018). His work is held in various collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia, Museum of Australian Photography and City of Melbourne's Arts and Heritage Collection, as well as private collections nationally and internationally.
