Her work is informed by queer/crip theory and trans/ queer activism. She also performs in queer spaces under her stage name as Bianca River Moon. Bianca’s work and practice has undergone many incarnations over time, making visible the hidden aspects of her identity and lived experience of neurodiversity, disability, chronic mental and physical illness, Aboriginality and gender non-conformity.
