Joe McLean, Queer Dangar (DOCO 2024)

Dangar island, accessible only by boat, is home to a small but diverse community in Sydney that holds regular unique queer celebrations, ranging from events such as “Drag Queen Bingo” to their own Mardi Gras, dubbed “Dangardigras”. These images intend to capture the acceptance, eccentricity, and freedom of Dangar’s community through these community events, offering a unique contrast to the ritz and glamour of Sydney City Mardi Gras.
