Victoria Hunt
Victoria Hunt (she/they) is an Australian-born Māori performance artist with ancestral affiliations to Te Arawa, Rongowhakaata, Ngāti Kahungunu and Pākehā (Irish, Scottish, English, Finnish).
Grounded in Mātauranga Māori, Body Weather philosophy and IndigiQueer resurgence, Hunt traverses the politics of Rematriation – inserting bodies into frameworks of power as active sites of memory for future ancestors.
As a dancer, choreographer, director, dramaturg, photographer, and filmmaker, Hunt examines Indigenous epistemologies within diasporic concepts of identity formation and belonging. Their award-winning works have toured across six continents.
Hunt received the 2025 Creative Australia Dance Fellowship and is artist-in-residence at Carriageworks, Eora (Sydney). Their latest work, KŌIWI, was commissioned by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Precarious Movements: Choreography and the Museum, which gave form to a ‘protector’ entity and is currently touring the world.
Hunt was a founding member of Sydney dance company De Quincey Co. (2000–2024); Rex Cramphorn Theatre Fellow (2016); Australian Space Agency Research Assistant, University of Western Sydney (2021–24); is a PhD candidate at University of New South Wales; and co-founder of Weather Beings, a 2Spirit collective with Métis Singing Thunderbird artist Moe Clark (Tio’tia:ke/Montreal).
