Nana Miss Koori

Nana Miss Koori
Performance
Nana Miss Koori was born on Gadigal Country and has connections across the Sydney Basin and down to Nowra on the South Coast of NSW.
After seeing drag queens performing in Sydney in the mid-1990s she was mesmerised by the glitz and glamour and the idea of seeing an Aboriginal person on stage performing.
A pioneer of First Nations drag, she has represented her community across the world, including Northern Ireland, Athens, Philippines and on board a UK World Cruise.
