Join the launch of queer art history collective Kink‘s new website, the first ever free and publicly-accessible online database dedicated to showcasing the work of Australian LGBTQIA+ artists.
Currently featuring over 100 artists and artworks from 1900 to now, this evolving platform seeks to represent the diversity and reach of queer Australian art in its myriad forms.
Since coming together in 2019, Kink has been researching and connecting with artists, communities, arts institutions, curators, writers, art historians, and estates from across the continent to establish a “living archive of LGBTQIA+ arts practice”.
Hear from Kink members Amelia Barikin, Courtney Coombs, Callum McGrath, Spiros Panigirakis, and Tim Riley Walsh as they discuss the collective’s origins, their ongoing research project, and the queer histories that have been brought to light.
