onesie world

Make the work. Wear the work. Be the work. Or do all three!

A playful, large-scale participatory artwork exploring identity, belonging and connection, worn on your body and released into the city.

Each onesie is a wearable work of art, featuring an original design by leading First Nations artist Dylan Mooney (Yuwi, Meriam, South Sea Islander) created exclusively for Melt.

WEAR THE WORK

COLLECTION DAY INFORMATION 
LOCATION: Brisbane Powerhouse
DATE: 24 OCT
TIME: FROM 3PM

First in, first dressed! 

Join us undercover from 3:00pm at Brisbane Powerhouse to collect your limited edition Adele Varcoe X Dylan Mooney onesie. With only 1,000 up for grabs, you’ll want to get in quick (and keep an eye out for some bonus pet accessories too!).

Once you’ve claimed your onesie, stop by the customisation station and add your own flair. Then prepare for a dance workshop with Bring a Plate, with sessions running at 3:30pm, 4:20pm and 4:45pm.

After that, it’s time to come together for one giant showcase of pride, as all 1,000 participants join in a mass movement celebration for opening night as the River Pride Parade concludes.
