For added fun, the scavenger hunt is a way for you the viewer to engage with the seres, becoming a part of the series in some way. Art locations are around the suburbs and city of Melbourne. Happy Midsumma and good luck!
"Find The Queens is part of MJ’s ongoing photography series Queens on drag that is both a defence of the art form of drag and a fantastical look into the worlds of drag queens. A response to those who may protest a drag festival or nay-say a queen reading a book at story-time!"
The series is made of portraits from the mind of MJ that showcase the personalities of the queens featured.
