The Huxleys: Creating a queer wonderland
Will and Garrett Huxley (Gumbaynggirr/Yorta Yorta) are collaborative performance and visual artists based in Naarm/Melbourne who work together as The Huxleys. Creating a beautiful wonderland together that celebrates queer culture paying homage to those who came before and Garrett honouring his Yorta Yorta Grandmother.
Long before colonisation, Mobs would conduct a Welcome to Country to greet and receive other Mobs on their ancestral land. 🌿
This important protocol, still practised today, serves as a sign of respect and recognition of one’s deep connection to Country.
At #MelbourneFashionWeek, Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Joy (dressed in Ngali_Australia) along with her granddaughter Chenile, carried forward this timeless tradition.
As they welcomed attendees, Aunty Joy shared a part of her history, beautifully intertwining culture and storytelling in a very special moment before the show. ✨
