Melania Jack is a multimedia artist working in projection art, mapping, sound, digital collage, and performance. Based in Gimuy (Cairns) for the past seven years, their work has exhibited at NorthSite Contemporary Arts Cairns, Umbrella Studio Townsville, and in group exhibitions at Bundaberg Regional Gallery, Outerspace Gallery (Judith Wright Arts Centre), and the Victoria Society of Arts in Canada for IWD.

Over two decades, Jack’s practice has evolved from live performance and music to digital art, projection, and sound installations in gallery environments. As a queer and non-binary artist, their work frequently explores themes of gender, labour, and technology, employing frameworks like glitch feminism in projects such as Pressing Topics, Mother Controller, and the video-sound performance series Not Performing (My Gender).
