What is your vision of utopia? What does it look, feel, and taste like?

The Stitchery Collective and Shandy have decided to embark on a collective imagining of utopia. We’re coming together to bring you a space emancipated from the out-dated shackles of expectations and prejudice around our gender, sexuality and bodies. Imagine a space where, for one evening, cis-het norms are discarded and we step together into a glitteringly queer multiverse filled with love, acceptance and wild dancing.

Shandy and The Stitchery Collective are pleased to introduce…

BOWERYTOPIA

Bowerytopia is a radical queer costume + dance party, inspired by and paying homage to the imagination and creativity of queer icon, Leigh Bowery. Join us and be entertained by a line-up of artists, performers and DJs inspired by Leigh Bowery and curated by Shandy’s Daddy, DJ Sweaty Baby.

Open Season is supported through Tourism and Events Queensland, the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, and both the Live Music Australia Fund and the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) – initiatives of the Australian Government.

Bowerytopia is presented in partnership with Brisbane Festival, a Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council Initiative.

Please note: In case Ms. Rona pays Brisbane a visit and events can’t go ahead, Brisbane Festival will do quick and easy refunds for everyone. So, grab your tickets and dive into the Festival – it’s going to be a blast!
