Ben Graetz is amplifying voices through drag and music | ABC NEWS
He challenged traditional news formats with his drag persona Miss Information, shaped World Pride Sydney as an artistic director and is now the face of the NT’s new tourism campaign as Miss Ellaneous. Blending performance, politics, and pride, First Nations artist Ben Graetz amplifies voices from underrepresented communities.

Ben Graetz caught up with the ABC’s Laetitia Lemke while in Darwin for his recent show.
