Quinn Dukes is a multimedia performance artist, activist, and curator based in Brooklyn, NY. Her performance work addresses social injustice, sensorial connection, and ritual. Dukes holds an MFA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts and a BFA in Fine Art from Watkins College of Art & Design. She has performed and lectured in galleries, museums, and performance festivals around the world including the Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, SVA Seocho Gallery (Seoul), Queens Museum (NYC), College Art Association (Chicago), FIAP Martinique, Grace Exhibition Space (NYC) and Fountain Art Fair (NYC, Miami).

In 2020, Dukes was interviewed for ArtNet News, the New York Times, Chronicles of Higher Education, News Channel 5 (Nashville), and Inside Higher Ed for her activism with Save Watkins - an initiative demanding transparency and religious and creative freedoms for students and faculty stuck in the middle of an unexpected merger between Watkins College of Art and Belmont University.

Dukes founded Performance Is Alive in 2014 following a heated discussion about the death of performance art. She is a tireless advocate for performance art and higher education via current appointments at Satellite Art Show (NYC, Miami, TX), Grace Exhibition Space (NYC), and the School of Visual Arts (SVA).
