SUMMARY:Pride Gallery Exhibition Opening - Tableaux by Gerard O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:You and a guest are warmly invited to the Pride Gallery launch of our Pride Month Exhibition\, Tableaux by Gerard O’Connor \n\n\nThe Pride Gallery\, Victorian Pride Centre\n79/81 Fitzroy Street\, St Kilda\nPlease RSVP here \nTableaux by Gerard O’Connor\nThese images present cinematic\, camp tableaux that reimagine and foreground LGBTIQ+ figures who have long been overlooked in mainstream history. From men dancing the tango\, to Victorian women archers\, drag performers of the 1940s\, star singers in Buenos Aires\, and queer narratives woven through goldfields life in Caulfield’s National Trust house ‘La Bassa\,’ these works inhabit and reclaim historical spaces. Trans bridesmaids at 1980s wedding parties further underline the continuity of queer presence across time. \nThis extraordinary photographic exhibition reflects the powerful collaboration between two artistic queer practitioners and soul mates Gerard O’Connor and Marc Wasiak which commenced in the mid-1990s. O’Connor a film maker/photographer and Wasiak a set designer/prop-maker are both acclaimed in their fields and together they constructed complex and large-scale images exploring the peculiarities of human behaviour and our changing social mores \nWith Pride\, \nVPC

SUMMARY:The Right Black to Adopt: Pride Gallery Opening & Artist in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Right Black to Adopt invites audiences to consider how layered identities shape experiences of community\, visibility\, and inclusion. The project aligns closely with the Pride Centre’s commitment to amplifying diverse voices and lived experiences. My practice is both deeply personal and community-driven\, aiming to open conversations\, shift perceptions\, and celebrate the power of self-definition and determination. \nEbony Hickey is a Haitian-born Australian contemporary artist whose practice confronts ideas of identity\, intercountry adoption\, sexuality\, queerness\, and Blackness. Drawing from her lived experience\, she creates expressive collages and intricate drawings\, using a wide range of materials to tell stories rooted in both personal and political realities. Performance is also an important element of her practice\, allowing her to explore visibility\, resistance\, and self-authorship across multiple forms.

SUMMARY:Mystery Call
DESCRIPTION:Mystery Call is a 1-to-1 conversation that is digitally delivered and connects us in community near and far. It is influenced by awareness of bodily diversities and disability cultures. It is an experience to be heard and embodied instead of being visually seen.  \nYou can join the Mystery Call virtually wherever you are or in person with the MindsEye Collective. At an appointed time\, you and your mystery call partner will engage in a supported pre-arranged online call with cameras off. Together you will be guided via conversational prompts to consider and safely share aspects of your present experience and your relationship with the spaces / places you are in. As a pair\, you will select fragments of your conversation to share with the Mindseye Collective that will be woven into dance. The dances will be embodied in Naarm throughout the Midsumma Festival for anyone to witness. To end your call\, you will be offered a dance that has been composed and translated from a previous pair’s Mystery Call to read aloud to one another and embody if you wish.   \nThis event is FREE\, however bookings are required.
