Eulogy for the Dyke Bar
Radiant: Storytelling and Poetry Night

6–8pm Thursday 2 March 2023

This program invited Wiradjuri poet and artist Jazz Money to curate a poetry, storytelling, and open mic night. Jazz unfortunately had COVID so was unable to attend on the night.

The program was hosted by Sydney-based actor, dancer, poet and powerhouse Mel Ree, and explored poetry as a dynamic, contemporary experimental form, as well as a method through which to find yourself, community, and home.

Alongside Mel Ree, featured poets included queer Goorie woman and emerging writer Brooke Scobie, queer Koori and Quechua emerging writer and poet Lucy Norton, and nonbinary lesbian Muslim Lebanese poet Adrian Mouhajer.

Together they explored themes of queerness, love, desire, identity, family, cultural connection, and Country. The program then opened up to the audience to take the stage with six emerging artists performing readings, raps, and spoken word, many performing for the first time.
