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.

The Kingpins

Bio

The Kingpins were a collaboration between Angelica Mesiti, Técha Noble, Emma Price and Katie Price established in 2000. Emerging from the queer culture of Sydney’s drag king scene, the all female foursome used an aesthetic of remixing, with elements taken from mainstream media, pop culture and art history, to comment on issues of gender, sex, public space, consumerism and corporate branding. Performers in their own works, The Kingpins achieved significant national and international success in the decade after they were established.
