Bio

Luke Currie-Richardson is a multidisciplinary Indigenous artist and proud descendant of the Kuku Yalanji, Djabugay, Mununjali, Butchulla, and Meriam peoples. For over 14 years, he has been creating bold, boundary-breaking work across dance, film, photography, spoken word, and fashion, using storytelling as a powerful tool for cultural truth-telling.

Luke toured nationally and internationally with Bangarra Dance Theatre (2012–2018),and Marrugeku, collaborating with leading artists including Ghenoa Gela and Wesley Enoch. In 2023, he premiered his choreography GEDOVAIT through the Stephanie Lake Escalator program.

Luke’s photography has been featured in Vogue and Marie Claire, and in 2024 he won the People’s Choice Award at the National Photographic Portrait Prize. His theatre acting debut came in 2022 with Kalanga Atu at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. As a poet, his work has been presented at Sydney Festival’s The Vigil and published by Red Room Poetry.

At the heart of Luke’s practice is a commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices and challenging contemporary narratives of identity and belonging.
