KITTY KITTY MEOW MEOW is a queer multidisciplinary artist, performer and housing activist based on Bundjalung Country.
Their costuming is everyday dress, not portrait styling. We were leaving my South Lismore home for a local housing activism meeting when their car became stuck over a drain.
Kitty fell in beside it.
After experiences of DV and repeated loss of control, their car had come to represent autonomy. The possibility of losing it felt like losing everything. Moments after I made this portrait, Kitty began to cry.
