Studio Kiin is an Indigenous-led creative collective working across performance, publishing, design and cultural strategy.
Our Core Values
-
Story sovereignty
Embedding seeds of ancestral knowledge into creative practice ensures our stories remain rooted in authentic cultural wisdom rather than external expectations.
-
Kinship first
Curating protocol for respectful, responsive and safe spaces creates the foundation for genuine relationships and community care.
Building career paths across communities and generations strengthens our culture of reciprocity and collective growth.
-
Embodied wisdom
Ancestral knowledge embedded in practice represents wisdom that lives in the body, not just the mind.
Learning and teaching in varied ways honours different forms of knowledge and cultural transmission.
-
Ancestral futures
Seeds of ancestral knowledge planted today grow into tomorrow's creative innovations.
Creating intergenerational opportunity ensures cultural continuity while building new pathways forward.
Studio Kiin is an Indigenous-led creative studio and collective working across Australia, Aotearoa and the Pacific region. We are a family of storytellers who are working to normalise story sovereignty, cultivate kinship and prioritise healing in creative practice. We are passionate about empowering artists to lead with culturally responsive, ethical and sustainable creative practice.
Our methods are tailored to the specific needs of each community, project and partnership we collaborate with through the honouring place, space and time that they exist in.
Our publishing platforms include Rarama Ink - an independent press arm dedicated to stories by and for Indigenous peoples, and Talanoa, a digital storytelling platform for Oceanic stories.
