MCA Interview with Jenn
“Having queer artists and community inhabit a family space is intentional. It raises the awareness of the queer body and of queer community, it’s a celebration of both. Allowing families access to that empowers them to hold meaningful conversations about identity, to have proximate positive exchanges with LGBTIQA+ people and to see themselves reflected.”
– Jenn Blake
Fambo acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waterways on which we raise our children and make work.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present and to the generations of families who have gathered on this land for over 65,000 years.
Indigenous sovereignty was never ceded and resistance to ongoing colonisation continues.

raise our children and make work; The Gadigal, Wangal, Darug, Wurundjeri, and Dharwaral people.
