Kyra Mancktelow

Kyra Mancktelow is a Quandamooka woman with strong cultural connections to Eulo and the South Sea Islander community of Vanuatu. Her multidisciplinary practice spans printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and bronze casting - each medium offering a unique and distinct aesthetic that brings her stories to life. 

Kyra’s work is grounded in her rich heritage, using diverse materials and techniques to share cultural knowledge, challenge colonial narratives, and invite audiences into deeper understanding. Her practice is both educational and poetic - layering symbolism, texture, and form to express identity, memory, and resilience in ways that resonate emotionally as well as intellectually.
