Doris Gay Day
Doris is Evelyn's attempt to pretend to be a woman. Evelyn Hartogh started
Art Love Jam in 1998 after organising many events with Dallas Angguish (Dorje
Norbu). The event began after Evelyn had to leave a State High School in
the outer suburbs of Brisbane after homophobic harrasment. Evelyn lost her
court case and is currently paying back three thousand dollars to the Department
of Education. Art Love Jam is a non-profit event which seeks to redress
homophobia in Queensland by reminding people that love is the one thing
every human being has in common. Evelyn organises Art Love Jam, each year
for the Brisbane GLBT Pride Featival, with James Lees who designs the posters
from raw images Evelyn finds and sets up press interveiws. Also, Evelyn
writes a column for Queensland Pride Magazine called POP CULT SHEROES. She
is currently finishing a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of
Qld. Once it is submitted she will be a MAMA because in 1997 she graduated
from Griffith University with a Masters in Women's Studies. Her dream is
to start her PHd in 2002 and get a scholarship because hunger makes it hard
to think. |
