For artist Dylan Mooney Sydney Mardi Gras represents unapologetic pride. ????✨
“It’s a place where people can express themselves, and it’s also a celebration of the community’s journey, how far we have come and to show the extraordinary talent within the LGBTQI+ community.”
The 25-year-old South Sea Islander creates art to showcase his journey as a queer man and drive awareness for Indigenous communities across Australia. “It’s about keeping the stories alive and passing on my knowledge through my artwork,” says Dylan.
“The Indigenous and LGBTQI+ communities are resilient peoples that are thriving and growing. Through so much adversity, we have overcome all the obstacles that have been thrown at us, and we will keep empowering each other and grow in strength for a better future for us.”
