Venetian Kind is led by a cross-disciplinary curatorial group of artists and researchers working across performance, theatre, participation, dramaturgy, sound, painting, installation and sculpture. Each sustains an independent practice, yet their work is grounded in long-standing collaborations shaped by shared pedagogy and curatorial exchange across local and international contexts.
Conceived by Cameron Bishop and David Cross at Deakin University, the first two iterations established the collaborative ethos and provocatory method of the project, refined over a decade of collaboration together. Following Venetian Blind (2019) and Venetian Bind (2024), the project has expanded beyond Deakin into an international partnership linking Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, Singapore and Italy.
Bruna Bonnano anchors the Venetian context, bringing her work as playwright, dramaturg and scholar to the politics of place. In Singapore, Ian Woo and Adeline Kueh extend the project through their research-led studio practice and critical pedagogy. From Auckland, Monique Redmond and Chris Braddock donate their experience and knowledge in performance, participatory and critical-writing practices.
