Queer in Warrane was a breathtaking experience. It’s stand-out aspects were the quality and intensity of the projection and the location. The way the images and sounds were created evoked intense feelings of respect for the past, happiness for the future of the LGBTQIA+SB communities, and pride in the beauty that the communities have created throughout history. Gabriel Gerard, Festival Coordinator, Sydney World Pride

unbelievably celebratory and beautiful … Blak Lens photographer Sarah Malone

Incredible and well beyond what I had in my mind. 

Three paintings were animated, and 3D projection mapped onto 6.5 x 8 metres of convict-hewn sandstone walls. “It’s always very special to me to have my art home on traditional country and the land that inspired it… in my heart, to me that’s where it belongs.
