Event description

We've been so excited to welcome this extraordinary DJ and human to our One Night Stand series. 

AYEBATONYE 

​​Ayebatonye Abrakasa is a DJ, multidisciplinary artist, curator and Creative Director of DIY Arts Platform Irregular Fit of Nigerian heritage working and living on Gadigal Land.

Ayebatonye founded Irregular Fit, a collaborative interdisciplinary DIY arts platform for Bla(c)k, Brown and POC (persons of colour) folk in August 2018  in response to limited opportunities for the respective communities within the arts and cultural industries. Irregular Fit was created as a means to exchange knowledge, to connect artists and audience  and to counter barriers to access that existed for Bla(c)k, Brown and POC folk who engaged with the arts. 

Through her arts practice Ayebatonye has explored existentialism and absurdism as it relates to her surroundings, her identity and its intersections. As a DJ, Ayebatonye is best known for her eclectic sonic stylings of chicago house, detroit techno, gqom and an array of global electronic sounds and has played in venues around the world, recently invited to open for the Underground Resistance at Tresor in  Berlin, Germany.

Ayebatonye frequently contributes her knowledge and experience on issues within and beyond Australia’s arts community providing sage social commentary through her online platforms, speaking engagements and new talk series Four to the Floor: Exploring the Bl(c)k roots of contemporary music. 

Ayebatonye is a former Board member of the Red Rattler Theatre and is part of the Australia Council for the Arts Future Leaders 2020-2021 cohort. Outside of the arts, Ayebatonye undertakes community engagement work part-time at Anti-Discrimination NSW. 

She also kept us all sane during lockdown with her daily reporting of cases and blends! 

We owe her so much, this all-night dance is just part of what we can do to say thank you! 

Supporting her on the floor will be STELLYG + Kelly Lovemonster
