Teague<p>I know there are many who will have nothing to do with Midsumma Festival here in Naarm. I hear you. You do not need to read further, and I sincerely thank you for your awesomeness. </p><p>However, from volunteering with them over the years, to receiving a mentor through them, to receiving so much advice, to helping them with accessibility training for future volunteers, to receiving funding, to working with them, to now being in the 2024 Midsumma program, I can tell you that I am excited to be a part of the festival and showcase the last 18 months of my life and what that looks like in a multidisciplinary visual arts format.</p><p>I am passionate about the environment and I know for a fact that the LGBTQIA+SB community and our allies are stronger when we fight for the same outsomes. I know, that we can reverse climate devastation, and I'm going to showcase some amazing rainbow performers on the opening night gala to highlight our strength.</p><p>Performers such as Goddess Naavikaran - poet, singer, event producer, activist. Tyrnyr - aka Bananas, aka Bayley Turner, poet, writer, Consent Coordinator, burlesque, activist.
