Christian Thompson (artist)
Christian Andrew William Bumbarra Thompson (born 1978) is a notable Australian-born and London-based artist.
==Early life and influences==
He was born in Gawler, South Australia. He is a Bidjara man (indigenous people of central southwestern Queensland) and is of British heritage descending from London, Margate, and Bampton, Oxfordshire. His paternal heritage is Aboriginal Australian, and his maternal heritage is British of convict and free settler origins. He currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Thompson's great-great-grandfather is King Billy of Bonny Doon Lorne, who was a senior tribesman of the Bidjara people and reigned for many years over the district.
Thompson had an itinerant childhood following his father's career in the military and lived in Darwin, Wagga Wagga, Raymond Terrace, Toowoomba, and Adelaide, along with his three brothers Marcus, Matthew and Joel. He spent his formative years and family holidays in Barcaldine and in the bush of the Queensland central desert learning the culture and traditions of his father's people from his grandmother and great aunts. Thompson has stated, "Whilst I grew up all over Australia, home is in Western Queensland, where my people are from."
He undertook his Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Southern Queensland, and in 1999 he relocated to Melbourne to undertake his Honours in Fine Art at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.〔(Art alumnus makes aboriginal history ) - RMIT News, 29 March 2010〕 He was an active member of the Melbourne art community, exhibiting his own work and curating various acclaimed exhibitions including 'What's Love Got To Do With It', 'White Hot - New Art from Different Places', 'High Tide - Contemporary Indigenous Photography', 'The Bodies That Were Not Ours', 'No Fun Without You', 'A Lot of Love Going Around' and 'If You only Knew'. He has also undertaken a curatorial internship at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and was on the curatorial group for shows Contemporary Commonwealth at the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. He established the MHUL Workshop, an annual workshop for young Indigenous artists from across Australia, and has recently completed a Masters of Theatre at the DasArts, part of the Amsterdam School of the Arts.
