Identity Parade – Shani Williams

cherrie.com.au – Written by Sarah Bella

Shani Williams describes herself as ‘happiest when blurring the gender lines’. The Australian-born, Dublin-based performance artist is featured in Identities, one of the only films to chart the multicultural transgender community in Ireland. Headed to Australia to perform at screenings of Identities, Williams talks to Sarah Bella about drag, gender and being part of an award-winning documentary.
