Phoenix Kiki Ball
Curated by Mahia Furia

THE TIME IS HERE! 🐦🔥
The Phoenix — a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and revolutionary transformation. This July’s function is a celebration of the brilliance within our community, education through the Ballroom lens, and a shared move toward unity. The essence of Ballroom was built off of survival, and thus the Phoenix honours this philosophy. Ballroom is BLACK, Ballroom is TRANS, Ballroom is QTBIPOC!

“It’s with great honour that I present to you, my first function and my gift to the community — the Phoenix Kiki Ball.
A special thank you to my Mother Angel Furia for putting your trust in me to curate this ball for our community. I love you deeply, and thank you to my community for loving and trusting me enough to celebrate and showcase you — my work will always and forever be for the Girls.
I pay my utmost respects to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boonwurrung People of the Kulin Nation, who have nurtured and protected these lands that were stolen and never ceded. A treaty has not been formed in the 237 years since the colonisation of so-called Australia. Respect and appreciation is extended to elders past, present and emerging, with a special thank you to the First Nations peoples who will be gathered with us on the night.” — Mahia Furia
