About the artists

Cerulean is the current reigning Miss First Nation 2021. She is an expressive blue gem who descended from the Pisces constellation to bless mere mortals with a raining cloud of excitement, energy and fun! Her body morphs into an ensemble of contrasting forms, exploring performance through concepts.

Mora Money serves camp clown chaos. Trans Wiradjuri babe, Mora leaves you wanting more. The pure personification of a money hungry capitalist gal living her fantasy. Think girl in control - think like Mora. Follow her silly little adventures @mora_money.

Miss Cairo has been a cabaret artist for the last decade and is the founding Director of The People of Cabaret. She has performed extensively around the world, and has a vast varied skill-set within the performing arts. A dancer, a singer, an actress, an activist, and a writer she aims to galvanise people into making expansive changes in the world!

KSMBA is a Naarm based classical musician turned DJ.  With their sights now set on igniting the dance floor, their sets move across a range of genres, exploring the percussive, hypnotic and contemporary elements of dance music.

Tinika is renowned for her distinctive taste and adventurous track selection as a Naarm-based DJ. Through sonic exploration she strives to surprise with each carefully curated mix but also bring with her, a sense of nostalgia to the dance floor. Tinika grew up heavily influenced by the sounds she selects today, with her output being a feel good fusion ranging from house to baile funk to experimental hip hop, r’n’b and everything in between. Drawing on her queer black identity, you’ll be hard pressed to find a genre untouched by Tinika who seems to always give the crowd what they didn’t know they needed.
