This summer Dylan Mooney's series Still Thriving was projected in Peel Street Park, in Collingwood, every night after dark.
Still Thriving embodies a shift in representation of queer love among people of colour. Created through the use of digital technology, these portraits have been transformed into a moving image reel in collaboration with local Dja Dja Wurrung/Yorta Yorta artist ENOKI.
Midsumma Festival is a celebration of LGBTQIA+ arts and cultures held annually for 22 days over January and February in Melbourne, Australia. The festival began as a one-week celebration of LGBTQIA+ pride in 1989. The festival has since expanded to a three-week event that attracts over 240,000 people each year.
