Visual Art
Hannah Brontë

Diva Worship - Come worship at the altar of divas! A photographic
collaboration with queer femmes and the sun. Harmonising the channel of
cyanotype as both ritual and process, the work explores the act of queer
self-portraiture as a radical practice of self-reclamation and embodied power,
honouring the sacred Queer Femme.

Queer femmes are an essential part of the ecosystem that sustains our
community. In their diversity, strength, and fluidity, they embody the resilience of
those who move through the world with quiet yet powerful grace. These
femmes, whether seen or unseen, hold the layers of both defiance and
tenderness that make them extraordinary forces of nature.

Featuring

Hannah Brontë

Born Magandjin (Brisbane), 1991, Australia

Brontë is an Artist/Creatrix. Birthing new worlds both literally and artistically is the spine of her practice. Much of her work correlates the treatment of the earth to the treatment of our bodies, specifically othered/ oppressed bodies, Femme bodies. Within Brontë’s work which she describes as “dreamscapes” both Joy and Revolution are always holding hands. These dreamscapes explore what could be; melding and infiltrating what is. Hannah embraces multiple mediums including video, text work, textiles, photography and soundscapes, and combines these to create visually distinctive works with a kaleidoscopic lense.

Recently Brontë has included holistic, spiritual and physical healers as consultants for much of her work. These new bodies of work explore the five senses and their ability to shift the audience's energy. Aiming to both ground and lift audiences through the experiences depicted in her pieces. Bronte often leans into her Femme camp tool kit to alleviate the heaviness of much that is depicted. Always showing that in vulnerability lies strength. Brontë’s work has begun unpacking intergenerational spiritual knowledge, which she feels is just the beginning of a new chapter. Her work deeply centers on exploring healing practices utilising the elements of the earth and expanding beyond the white box. Much of this chapter is influenced by her practice as a birthing Doula, Party Curator and DJ.
