With the unprecedented challenges faced over the past year, many of us have found strength in communities to ensure we emerge stronger together. In this Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras edition of In the Frame, hear artists Deborah Kelly and Bhenji Ra in conversation with broadcaster and musician Eddie Ayres about how they facilitate collaborative art-making to build and support communities to rise, grow and flourish.

In the spirit of the 2021 Mardi Gras’s theme 'Rise', we hear what helped these artists to emerge from life’s challenges and why fostering strong communities is the secret to their success.

This talk is open captioned.

In the Frame is a series of lively conversations with artists and thinkers that unpacks the connections between art and the ideas, issues and events that matter most to us today. It is proudly supported by the Art Gallery Society of NSW and Macquarie University and is co-presented with Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras​.
