Where Are You Blokes From?
Join DVA at Darwin's ICONIC Deckchair Cinemas as we celebrate drag, dance and road trips the only way we know how, with a special dress-up screening of The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert!
All funds raised from this screening will go towards DVA's Plus 1 fundraising campaign meaning every dollar donated on the night will be DOUBLED by Creative Partnerships Australia.
Come along as we journey with Tick’ Belrose (aka Mitzi Del Bra) and friends – a brash young drag queen called Felicia and an ageing transsexual called Bernadette - as they trek through the desert for their debut show at the Alice Springs Casino in their second-hand bus dubbed ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’.

‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach. Artworks reflect each artist’s personal connection to chosen plants. Accompanying stories and video communicate cultural knowledge.
The viewer is exposed to obscurities of the universe including artwork, ‘Solar Flare’ depicting a solar explosion also, ‘Meteor Shower’ and ‘Supernova’. Energy and passion are radiating from the paintings, highlighting intensity. In contrast, ‘The Wormhole’ and ‘Galaxy’s Breath’ depict the timelessness and constancy of galaxies and the beyond.
Have you ever spent so long not talking to other people that when you finally did, your voice cracked? Have you ever been somewhere so remote that if you died, no-one would know and you might not be found for weeks - if ever?
