Nilmini De Silva, Glamorous Tyra (PEOPLE 2023)

2023 was the year we celebrate World Pride in Sydney and the cultural precinct of Carriageworks was the home of the First Nations Gathering Space, Marri Madung Butbut (Many Brave Hearts). There were major installations, queer art parties, theatre shows, drag and family events. We were fortunate to stumble on a deadly disco, honouring queer trailblazers as well as the legacy of the many artists whose lives were lost to AIDS. It was a celebration of glitter and glamour with tasty indigenous food and performances that took my breath away.
