Xander Khoury co-founded House of Silky with a mission; to diversify Sydney’s ballroom scene while centering its pioneers in the queer, BIPOC and trans community. Now, years later, Xander is the Father of the House of Silky, one of Australia’s most eminent ballroom collectives, and its spinoffs — like The Door List and the first-of-its-kind The West Ball — are among the buzziest and most sought-after events for queer Sydneysiders.
