Come to Club Chrome’s take-over of Eulogy for the Dyke Bar as they create the queer str*p club of your dreams. Come celebrate the joy of overt queer sexuality with us, tipping is encouraged!
Club Chrome is Australia's first LGBTQIA+ pole dance collective consisting of queer artists at the intersections of the POC and sex worker communities. Together they explores and push the boundaries of pole dance as an art form while always referring back to pole’s origins in sex work.
Club Chrome is invested in showcasing art from bodies that may otherwise be unrepresented, by performing in spaces that are normally delineated by convention, race, and class. In their take-over of Eulogy for the Dyke Bar, Club Chrome will be queering the gendered expectations of pole dance by celebrating and inviting a queer sexual gaze, embracing the Dyke Bar as a space for overt queer sexual desire and sensual exploration.

Presented by UNSW Galleries, the National Art School and Sydney WorldPride, Eulogy for the Dyke Bar is a sculptural environment and memorial to bygone dyke bars. The installation incorporates a café and operating bar, and functions as an active community space for performances, cruising, socialising, and contemplating the future of queer spaces.
This project reclaims the term ‘dyke’ in its most expansive sense and recognises that gender and identities are complex and fluid. Anyone who identifies with, or feels an allyship with, the dyke part of the queer spectrum is welcome and valued at the dyke bar.
Bar open: 5 – 10pm Monday – Friday
Installation open: 9am – 5pm Monday – Saturday
