Kait James

Kait James is a Wadawurrung artist whose practice reclaims and recontextualises mass-produced objects and public spaces to challenge the erasure and commodification of First Nations culture. Drawing on both her Indigenous and Anglo heritage, she interrogates stereotypes and colonial narratives through a lens that is critical, subversive, and grounded in truth-telling. Her work honours the endurance of her ancestors and asserts the ongoing sovereignty of First Peoples in contemporary Australia.

Working across textiles, print, sculpture and public art, Kait’s work is held in public and private collections across Australia. Her exhibition Red Flags is currently touring nationally until 2027, with presentations across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania.

Kait is represented by Neon Parc, Melbourne.
