The Mardi Gras Magician - Kabi - Ethel Yarwood Enterprises

Dean and James talk to the man who, for the last 20 years, has been responsible for some of the most memorable award-winning entries in Sydney’s Mardi Gras Parade; The Surry Hillsong Church, The Kate Moss Line Dancers, Dick van Dykes on Bikes, Cher and the USS Missouri, Cussons Imperial Leather Pride, Jenny & Craig, The Happy Little Sodomites, Karma Kleaners and The Only Gay in the Village (which Dean participated in 2005). Kabi, a 6’3” redhead with a Japanese name, truly is The Mardi Gras Magician and the founder of Ethel Yarwood Enterprises - a very different Community Art Project based on the philosophy of the permanence of disposable art.
