Gallery 4 Main Drag is a solo exhibition by Easton Dunne that explores queer experiences and identity work through an autobiographical lens within the context of rural and regional Central Queensland on Darumbal, Ghungalu and Wadja Country. It reflects on the joys and frustrations of growing up in a rural and regional area as a queer, trans and non-binary person and then returning to live there as an adult after time away in Meanjin/Brisbane. Main Drag also attempts to create a space for imagining a queer futurity that is entirely specific to Rockhampton and Central Queensland: one that has queer joy and belonging at its core. By resurfacing imagery and symbols from roadside billboards that the area uses to market itself to visitors and frame its own identity for locals with hot pink, fluffy faux fur that resembles cowhide, Dunne attempts to resist and reframe the hyper-masculine narrative that casts the area as the “beef capital of Australia”, offering space for imagining an alternate queer utopia in this location through kitsch and camp aesthetics. Presented by Firstdraft in partnership with Metro Arts, Brisbane. Join us from 6–8pm on Friday 2 June for the opening of four new exhibitions at Firstdraft.
