The programme will showcase the loud and proud creativity of members of the First Nations queer community in Western Sydney across four weeks – a range of workshops ranging from makeup, high heel strutting, creative writing sessions, as well as film screenings and live queer storytelling.

Kolour Me Kweer is set to be an exciting opportunity for First Nations queer people to express their creativity through multiple art forms, activism and advocacy which is uniquely First Nations, Western Sydney, queer, diasporic and grounded in kin and Country.

In the strut workshop, you’ll learn how to keep balance in heels, move with the music and walk like you own the joint. Facilitated by dancer/choreographer Phil Dean Walford.

Meanwhile, Kolour Me Kountry presents a double-bill film screening (‘Double Trouble’) and prominent queer artists participating in a panel discussion.

Storytelling event Queerstories will hold its own First Nations line-up Kolour Me Kweer event – featuring incredible local storytellers sharing the story they want to tell but are never asked to, plus unexpected tales of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance. Directed by Maeve Marsden.

Kolour Me Kweer runs from 19 March-2 April at Bankstown Arts Centre.
