Dani/elle Cunningham is an artist, art historian, and psy-borg living in Denver, CO. Interested in the lives of materials, she draws from mysticism and science fiction/fantasy themes to transform everyday matter like concrete, machinery, and craft supplies into otherworldly objects. She often uses these objects to interrogate and subvert the impact of capitalism on gender, sexuality, and disability and is especially concerned with humanity’s uncertain future. Dani has curated exhibitions, created performances and installations, and written about cyborgism and magick as means of de-stigmatizing various experiences, particularly mental illness and neurodivergence. She also regularly writes for regional art publications, co-directs chant cooperative, and is a resident artist at the Temple Contemporary Artist Haven.
