Stonewall Ball performers backstage, 1996

Description

Unique IDA-01164929SeriesSydney Star Observer stock photograph libraryDate29th June 1996Date qualifierexactFormatPhotograph - PrintDescriptionA group of Stonewall Ball performers. Several of them are dressed in matching outfits - sequined bikinis and headbands with a flower and feather headpiece attached. They also hold what appear to be curly wigs, possibly just taken off after a performance. Two other attendees on the right are dressed in suits, one featuring animal print. They are most likely backstage. A figure with an official looking lanyard can be seen behind them. This Years Stonewall Ball was Las Vegas themed. This party was one of several organised by the PRIDE Centre, a community centre project in Erskineville that aimed to build vital, visible and positive LGBTQIA+ spaces. The centre was originally closed in 2007, however, it has been re-established in Newtown since August 2024.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorPhotographer: Mazz Image
