This panel is hosted by Lana Woolf,feminist,activist,spoken word artist,poet and community cultural worker who acts as catalyst to this discussion on where do WOC and/or POC and Indigenous queer women & trans women fit into queer spaces culturally in Australia and what that experience is like, and for the P.I what differences are there compared to their place of origin.

Panelists are : Dani Sib, Aboriginal singer songwriter, Sonja Hammer Polynesian,Amao Leota Lu,Fa’afafine ( absent ).
“do you fit perfectly in the queer culture?” and “what is the experience for you as a queer women of colour in a Western context ?”
Does queerness come before racial identity? What about labels of identity?
Do POC and Indigenous women have more labels and do those labels help or hinder?
Is it harder being queer and of colour in LGBTIQA spaces? How challenging is it to navigate in the white world as a POC and a woman, and where does sexuality come into it?
