Welcoming the Unwelcome:
A Black Rainbow Homecoming

This is a multi year First Nations LGBTQIA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy Human rights photography grassroots project based in the Cape York Peninsula of remote Far North Queensland, Australia. This project is led by international Human rights Lawyer, First Nations LGBTQIA+ Scholar and Photographer, Marijke Bassani who is a Lama Lama/Lamalama, Binthi Warra (Guugu Yimithirr Nation) and Bulgun Warra woman raised on the east coast lands of her people in Cape York. This project will involve Marijke taking portraits and collecting contemporary personal narratives about culture and community from Cape York First Nations LGBTQIA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy peoples for collation into a photography book. All proceeds generated from the book will be returned directly to all those who featured in it to build financial wellness and autonomy for Cape York Black Rainbow mob.
