Eulogy for the Dyke Bar
Program Launch

Eulogy for the Dyke Bar ’s public programming series launched with an evening of music and dance celebrating dyke culture and community. The evening included a Welcome to Country from Aunty Donnz Ingram, opening address from Sydney WorldPride CEO Kate Wickett , and speech from artist Macon Reed .

Sydney - based hip - hop/R&B artist and beatboxer BVT performed a 30 - minute set. As a Queer Person of Colour, BVT’s mission is to bridge the gap between the LGBTQI+ community and mainstream hip hop, whilst decolonising and reclaiming space, and bearing the culture as a future ancestor.

The night concluded with a set from Afro - Caribbean crip DJ Aquenta . Aquenta is founder of CRIP RAVE THEORY, a club night which draws on disabled knowledge to create more intersectionally - accessible rave spaces. For Aquenta, DJing is both playful and political: space - making through occupation and sonic curation, aimed at expanding community and club culture.
