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

Frances Barrett (b. 1983) is an artist who lives and works in Narrm Melbourne, whose recent work pivots around the modalities of listening and vocality.

Such projects include: Cry for The National 4: Australian Art Now, Carriageworks, 2023; Meatus, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, 2022; and All Ears: A Listening Party, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney, 2018. In 2019 Barrett was one of the recipients of Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship, a unique fellowship for women working across performance and installation. Barrett is one member of the collective Barbara Cleveland (with Diana Baker Smith, Kate Blackmore and Kelly Doley) who have presented projects at Art Gallery of New South Wales, Biennale of Sydney, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art and Hayward Gallery. In 2020 Barbara Cleveland presented their first survey exhibition, Thinking Business, at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery.
