Daniel Rumbolt’s multidisciplinary art practice is informed by his experiences as a queer artist raised in rural communities throughout the traditional land of the Mekap’sk Mi’kmaq Band (northern peninsula) of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). This conversation will explore how he uses material manipulation to transform rural narratives and queer tensions. It will also touch on the potential trajectories of an emerging artist, and how to navigate post-academic careers in the arts.
As a featured artist in the 2025 Nocturne Festival, all are welcome to join Rumbolt at these additional events: his public workshop “Net Making with Unconventional Materials” at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Friday October 17 from 1-4 PM; his live performance Tying to Remember at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Saturday October 18 from 7:30-9:30 PM; and his installation cast away & caught ashore at The Queen’s Marque on view on Saturday October 18 from 6 PM-midnight.
