From Les Girls to Monsta Gras, alternative club culture in Sydney continues to be an important platform for community-building and the development of experimental performance practices. Within the context of gentrification and shifting urban dynamics, this panel discussion will explore the significance and precarity of Sydney’s club nights and venues from the 1970s to now.
Moderated by artist, curator and publican Emma Price; speakers include costume designer, founding member of queer artist collective Glitter Militia and co-creator of Monsta Gras with collaborator Justin Shoulder, Matt Stegh; as well as the Co-Founders of Club Kooky DJ Gemma and Jonny Seymour.
Presented in conjunction with Zanny Begg: The Beehive at UNSW Galleries 5 January – 23 February 2019 as part of the Radical Sydney public program series.
Taking its title from Terry Irving and Rowan Cahill's book on dissident politics and actions in Sydney, 'Radical Sydney' is a program of talks, documentary screenings and performances engages with the histories and futures of local activism concerned with housing, public space, sexuality and gender.
