Keemon Williams (b.1999) is a queer Meanjin (Brisbane) based artist of Koa, Kuku Yalanji and Meriam Mir descent. He wields an array of mediums to confront and expand his relationships with the experiential, site-specific, and ethnoplastic.
His practice critically engages facets of his identity and its intrinsic tethering to the wider context of “Australian.” In weaving this through analogue and digital languages, Keemon seeks to assert personal sovereignty across physical and metaphysical space.
Studying a Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) at Queensland University of Technology, Keemon developed a rooted in the interwoven conflicts of cultural and personal history, as seen from within our daily spaces. From domestic architecture to interventions with public art, these sculptural installations highlight the ever-present yet invisible struggles of identity.
