Club Silly would like to acknowledge this event has been organised and will take place on stolen Whadjuk Noongar boodjar. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, the original weavers; and acknowledge the fierce queer mob, Sistergirls and Brotherboys in Boorloo and around the country who have led and continue to lead the fight for collective change. We acknowledge that the effects of colonisation are global and ongoing, and we stand with Indigenous and marginalised people everywhere. We are grateful that we get to share this creative space with community, connect and move our bodies together on what always was and always will be, Aboriginal Land. No one is free until everyone is free. Free Palestine.
