  • Summary

  • Gay bugs! Celebrity stick insects! Pulling out insect poo with tweezers on the coffee table!

    Lauri Pavlovich is the artist behind the work, Bugs Against the Binary, which was shown at Melbourne's Science Gallery. This artwork was all about challenging conventional notions of sex, sexuality and gender using really cool bugs.

    When some of the stick insects naturally passed away during the exihibit, Zofia saw an opportunity... to enlist Clarisse's help in making gay bug art for her girlfriend.

    Many thanks to Teeb Lake for original music, and Simon Pampena for mentorship and listening notes. Artwork by Clarisse Sawyer, script/editing by Zofia Witkowski-Blake. This podcast was created on the unceded lands of the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples.
