“Bring a spare pair of undies because you're going to get WET.”
@PelenakekeBrown reviews Fala Muncher: a Pasifika, queer-led production. Joyful poignant storytelling of queer identity, familial ties wrestling with ourselves. @Basementspace

@Miss_Canton remembers her own experience growing up Chinese in Aotearoa.
"Where were those stories? Growing up in the world thinking you Maybe Don’t Exist isn’t an uncommon feeling for people with kaleidoscopic identities (see: The Diaaaaaspora)."
