Racerage
Racerage is a queer Black radical rapbrat – spitting bars and shattering white fragility with hard-hitting lyricism, smooth harmonies and wry wit. They collaborate primarily with other First Nations, POC, queer and trans producers, artists and performers, exploring themes of intersectional feminism, decolonisation, class, genocide, and life in the queer bubble.
Racerage infuses dark electronic hip hop with defiant punk energy and a unique colourful DIY aesthetic. Their collaborating producers span a diverse range of genres from trap, to old school hip hop, boom bap, cruisey reggae styles, noise pop and experimental beats. Drawing all these sounds together with their dynamic vocals to create frosty politi-cute protest rap, Racerage takes their audience on a journey across the emotional spectrum, intertwining the personal with the political.

Kari Lee McInneny-McRae & Caitlin Dear
- (spoken word and movement collaboration)
Artists, Kari Lee McInneny-McRae and Caitlin Dear examine the barriers we face in public spaces as neurodivergent and chronically ill folk. They examine both the positives and negatives of accessibility through an absurdist and experimental collaboration of movement and words.
Kari Lee McInneny-McRae (they/them) is a Naarm-based multi-disciplinary artist, writer and arts worker. They live and create on the unceded sovereign land of the Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) and Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. Their practice explores personal connections to materiality and place through process-based practices.
Caitlin Dear uses choreographic approaches to working interdisciplinary across dance, live art, academia and practice-based research. They create sensorily and intellectually engaging experiences, whether it be an action in a gallery, performance in a theatre or outdoor adventure in a public setting. To prioritise community/audience participation, Caitlin uses immersive and interactive elements to directly engage people with the inquiries of their projects. Thus, working toward dissolving boundaries between artist, audience, artwork and everyday life.
