Mardi Gras: Queer collage making
Thursday 29 February 2024 from 6pm to 8pm
In celebration of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras we invite you to get cut and pasted at Waverley Library!
Collage is made up of magazine and newspaper clippings, discarded books, packaging, coloured or handmade papers, portions of other artworks or texts, photographs and found objects.
Queer art, or queer aesthetics, broadly refers to modern and contemporary visual art practices that draw on LGBTQI+ imagery and issues. Collage is the perfect artform to express ones otherness and alter traditional media forms to recreate new ideas and concepts
