Cynthia Post Hunt is a curator and artist based in Northwest Arkansas. Her interdisciplinary practice operates through modes of collaboration, examining points of convergence within the shared human experience. Approaching practice as a form of research, she develops rituals, games, and performative gestures that interrogate subjectivity, loss, and transformation. Time, memory, and the body function as central materials and conceptual frameworks within her work.

Post Hunt’s research is grounded in the study and production of Live Art, with particular attention to interstitial and liminal spaces. Her work engages conditions of indeterminacy—sites in which boundaries are destabilized, categories collapse, and contradictions are sustained.
She serves as Curator of Performance and Artists-in-Residence at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Momentary, and is co-founder of the INVERSE Performance Art Festival.

Her curatorial work encompasses performances, installations, and festivals developed in collaboration with artists and organizations across the globe. Since 2016, Post Hunt has co-led INVERSE, an inclusive performance art platform that fosters local dialogue within an international context while cultivating a sustained community of artists and audiences. From 2018 to 2022, she served as a partner in Live in America, directed by Dr. Carra Martinez of Fusebox Festival, which convened over 300 artists and thinkers to engage the role of community in performance across diverse cultural contexts in the United States. In 2024, she co-curated POSTHUMAN: Body, Ecology, and Technology, an international conclave of alternative art at Utkal University of Culture in Bhubaneswar, India. In 2025, she co-produced PORCH Fests in collaboration with the co-commissioners PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity, the United States Pavilion at the 19th International Biennale Architettura of La Biennale di Venezia. The program featured over 50 events of live music, dance, theatre, performance art, workshops and public dialogues foregrounding practices of gathering and cultural exchange. In 2025, Post Hunt also participated in the Lunder Institute for American Art Summer Think Tank, which examined the role of performance art in the interpretation and stewardship of American art. As a guest curator, she convened a national cohort of practitioners to critically engage how institutions shape the contemporary performance art landscape through commissioning, production, archiving, and collection.

Post Hunt holds an MA in Curating from Aarhus University, where her thesis examined artist-run practices as agents influencing institutional structures, and a BFA with an emphasis in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has served as a Lecturer in the School of Art within the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas, where she will teach again in 2027.
