WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?

Do you have a cause for celebration? Or a reason to publicly protest? Is there something you want shouted in the streets? Written on banners? Tiny Parades is a public performance by Snapcat (Renae Coles & Anna Dunnill) which will see two lone paraders take to the streets, passionately championing your personal, small-scale cause. A new puppy, a mean boss, an alliance of food allergies - human-sized struggles and joys. Parade theme submissions from the public were accepted up until Monday 18 May - thanks for your brilliant ideas!

_ Tiny Parades has been commissioned by The Perth Public Art Foundation as part of perthFLUX, a progression of temporary public art projects in the Barrack Street Precinct of the Perth CBD.

A public spectacle, a noisy protest, a mournful march, a joyous celebration – let us bring your parade to life
