Easton Dunne In Conversation With Keemon Williams | Hail Holy Queen

Onespace presents Easton Dunne in conversation with artist and curator Keemon Williams, as they unpack Easton’s installation and lounge gallery show from November 2024, Hail Holy Queen.

Easton Dunne’s Hail Holy Queen applies a queer lens to a childhood time and place where, according to the artist, they “held an acute sense of [their] own queerness and transness but had no language or agency to recognise or express this identity, in part as a result of the conservative influence of religious beliefs on family and community”.

The installation simulates aspects of Dunne’s paternal grandparents’ house, located on a cattle property on Ghungalu Country. It was a location for many family gatherings, often after Sunday church services, in which the artist and their family would say the Rosary together before watching television and sharing meals.
