Muru – ba: First Nations LGBTIQA+ Trailblazers

Muru-ba is a physical and online exhibition showcasing the faces and stories of First Nations LGBTQIA+ Elders involved with the LGBTQIA+ rights and First Nations community movements since the 1970s from across Australia.

Muru-ba is a Dharug word gifted to the project by Aunty Julie Jones, that means trail blazer, or path maker.

This online exhibition showcases newly produced portraits by renowned Sydney-based photographer Joseph Mayers (Yorta Yorta), which are accompanied by an online exhibition that features newly recorded interviews by Daniel Browning (Bundjalung / Kullilli), ABC journalist and radio broadcaster.

The oral history interviews and photographic portraits will be first displayed at Carriageworks as part of Marri Madung Butbut: First Nations Gathering Space, for the duration of Sydney WorldPride 2023. Curated by Steven Ross (Wamba Wamba) and Nick Henderson from the Australian Queer Archives
