OVER THE BORDERLINE

OVER THE BORDERLINE is a new collaboration with cross-artform queer artist Samanneh Pourshafighi. 

This new performance will interrogate how border control, queerness and popular culture intersect—starting with how Australian refugee tribunals expect people to prove their queerness through a Western lens.
