Tina- A Tropical Love Story

In 1993, in the sweltering Darwin Amphitheatre in the Northern Territory, a young First Nations boy found himself swept away by the legendary Tina Turner. That evening would spark a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Blending storytelling, cabaret and dazzling drag.

We have no secure funding for these events but would love a way to generate income to support the work we do, support artists and support Blak creative community movement. If you want to fund us or have ideas for funding ideas, opportunities please get in touch. We really want this to succeed in every way. Including being rich (jokes, not really).

In 2025, The Collective commissioned an original artwork for Nungay Night by proud Bisexual Adnyamathanha and Arrernte artist Rivah Rose Jackson. Titled ‘Coming Together’, the piece embodies unity.

Rivah Rose Jackson

“The arches represent different groups of people. All different in their own special way. I have also included human footprints/ tracks to show the pathways of everyone coming together. all over; this piece was designed to represent peace, love, and to celebrate all our differences, and not let them bring us down, only lift us up!”

The Collective continues to celebrate her work as a powerful reflection of our values and vision of supporting our grass roots First Nations artists and rainbow community.
