3.8 Queer and Indigenous

In this funny and lovely episode we speak with Dylan Barnes, who is based at the same university as our host, Leandro.

Dylan Barnes (they/them) is a Wiradjuri artist, researcher, and Master of Research student who lives and works on Dharug Country on the lands of the Wallumattagal people in Sydney, NSW. Dylan is from the Riley and Ferguson mobs in Dubbo and Darlington Point (central-western NSW), but was born and raised on Darkinjung Land on the Central Coast (eastern NSW). Dylan’s MRes thesis looks at how Indigenous LGBTQIA+SB artists’ relationalities inform their understandings and expressions of queerness, culture, and community. Dylan is currently a Research Fellow in the Department of Linguistics and a Research Assistant in the Department of Critical Indigenous Studies.
