2025 Visual Arts Residency - 9 Weeks
Micah Rustichelli is an interdisciplinary artist working on Jagera and Turrbal land, Brisbane. With a strong focus on performance, sculpture and painting, Micah’s work operates across modes of fine arts, circus and club kid/nightlife arts. This cross-pollination of forms has led the artist to a practice that uses humour, queer knowledge and intersectional materials to explore contemporary concerns with a wide range of audiences.
Micah has developed this unique practice through residency opportunities such as the Workroom Program at Studio1, the Queer Development Program with Performance Space, and on various stages from Dark Mofo to Woodford Folk Festival. In 2023 Micah took the inaugural title of Altimate Showdown Champion against 60 Brisbane nightlife performers and Artist of the Year at the 62nd annual Queens Ball.
