The Sydney Pride Festival 2022 “Be Brave, Be Strong, Be You.” will launch at Stonewall Hotel on Thursday 2nd June. Sydney Pride Festival will run from the 2nd June until the 30th June 2022

This year Sydney Pride Festival is about empowering each other “Be Brave, Be Strong, Be You!” will focus on being your authentic self and finding pride. Through the love of family, friends and our community standing with us and supporting us we shine, flourish and find our truth. Equality, Visibility and the opportunity for all of us to move forward together as we create a better future.

Sydney Pride Winter festival will remember the Riots of 1969 at the Stonewall Inn Greenwich Village. The Heroes that lead the way and fought for our rights over 50 years ago.  The beginning of the modern gay movement and the inspiration to the 78er’s who paved the way in Sydney. The LGBTQI community are all under one fabulous Umbrella and together we continue to create change and acceptance. Homosexuality is no longer illegal in Australia. Marriage Equality has been achieved and our community has shown that the Riots of 1969 will always be remembered as the beginning of the Pride Movement.

Sydney Pride Festival is a grass roots festival and a time to pass on the history and raise awareness and education of our LGBTQI Charities and organizations. This year we will be putting a focus on the strength of our Community and remember our pursuit for acceptance and total Equality for all our LGBTQI people. Sydney Pride can reach out and help those struggling with Sexual identity, bullying, drugs or just feeling that life is too hard to stand strong and ask for help. Standing Together in Solidarity. This is Pride! Be Brave, Be Strong and Be You. We stand together with love and Solidarity.

Sydney Pride Festival is a not for profit event and supports a wide range of LGBTQI Charities, Organizations and businesses. This Sydney Pride festival will include events throughout Sydney that are fun and affordable for everyone. The events will raise much needed funds for Charity and showcase our community, our struggles and our achievements.

Last year the Sydney pride Festival contained over 100 events. The festival will feature Art, Cinema, Trivia, Debates, Sports, Stories and entertainment available on our Love stream. The Sydney Pride Festival would like to thank the volunteers, event organizers, sponsors and LGBTQI community and all our friends for all their continued support.

The Anthropocene Extinction Event: a group show about species extinction, advocating for environmental awareness and protection.

 This exhibition explores the factors that are driving the sixth mass extinction, chiefly climate change.

 If you live in an urban environment as most of us do, the climate crisis can seem distant and almost unreal.

Memories of the Black Summer bushfires that briefly shocked us into awareness, have faded as the covid pandemic has taken hold of our attention.

The experience of climate change is filtered through the media, turned into sound bites and flattened-out images of disasters happening in faraway places to other people.

Amid this general sense of dislocation, scientists and artists continue to unflinchingly examine the unfolding climate crisis and record what they see. However, art can touch us on a deeper level than facts and figures can, to shock us back into awareness of the real devastation of species and habitats being caused by climate change in Australia.

The Anthropocene Extinction Event, by turns heartrending and humorous, always uncomfortable, features the work of 13 emerging and established artists united by their passion for the natural world, that will challenge you to confront the toll that pollution and climate change is taking on our loved native animals and landscapes and take action to protect them.

 Paintings, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and performance by:

Artists include Monika Scarrabelotti, Graeme Pauley, Alyx Guidi, Bron Price, Nienke Brand, Paul Venables, Vance Raeburn, Gilda Rizzo, Catherine Giles, Michael Teleshoff, Loretta Ryan-Krawczyk, and Brian McDonald.

 Presented by the Garage Art Action Group and Extinction Rebellion.

The Anthropocene Extinction Event runs from 14-20th March, opening on Saturday the 19th of March at 6pm.
