They’re a Queer Mob
Opening next week, I’m in this group show at Blak Dot with a portrait of Crystal McKinnon.
as part of Midsumma, Blak Dot Gallery presents
They’re a Queer Mob
A vision of queer culture from non-western perspectives. A mob of artists with cultural roots in Indigenous Australia, the Pacific, Africa, and India offer their alternative visual experiences
Featuring Jules Renton, Renuka Rajiv, Meera Sethi, Arlene TextaQueen, Kamahi Jordan King, Peter Waples-Crowe, Cecilia Kavara, Kimba Thompson, Salote Tawale, Susan Forrester and Jacob Tologata
Opening night will be a party with various performers scheduled to entertain all evening.
The exhibition features an informal discussion on GLBQT diversity in Indigenous cultures. With speakers covering such topics as the third gender in Indigenous cultures such as faafafine (Samoa), fakaleiti (Tonga), rae rae (Tahiti Nui) and sistagirls (Indigenous Australia). Also to be covered is the continuum of specific Indigenous sexualities which have become distinct parts of Western GLBQT minority culture.
