SEQ Queer Writers Festival & Fashioning Queer Identities Exhibition

Leave a comment

I’ll be hosting a zine workshop at the 2025 SEQ Queer Writers Festival this year, and also chatting on a poetry panel! My zine workshop will give participants an understanding of zines and zine culture, as well as the tools they need to start working on a small zine on a topic of their choice.

I’m also honoured to have work in this exhibition! My piece WE ARE HERE combines fashion, protest, poetry and zines.

UNDERCURRENT is a bold multimedia project and exhibition celebrating the richness and diversity of LGBTQIA + expression. Bringing together art, fashion, performance, and costume, the project explores the many queer identities can be revealed, celebrated, or even concealed.

Developed through co-designed workshops, participants shared stories, reflected on life in Brisbane, and uncovered common themes that speak to personal journeys and collective experience. The result is a striking collection of individual and collaborative works that invite audiences to witness, reflect, and celebrate the power of queer creativity.

Very exciting news! This week I join Queensland Poetry as their Events and Marketing Manager!

Big love to Zenobia Frost who handed over the reins to me this weekend and has done an absolutely outstanding job. In this role I hope to honour, nurture and celebrate the poetry community, and the voices of future and established artists, especially those from marginalised backgrounds. May I remain humble, driven and community-focused.

Queensland Poetry (QP) supports poets and spoken-word artists in Queensland, Australia through its flagship annual festival, year-round events and workshops, Arts Queensland Poet-in-Residence Program, Arts Queensland Poetry Awards, prizes and challenges, and in-school programs.
