Photography has always played an essential role in the queer community. It is a means of being visible – visibly queer, visibly gay, visibly true.
Brought to life in a digital projection on the WA Museum’s Old Gaol, Head On Foundation’s Queertography, looks back through the Head On archives bringing to light photography and photographers who have pioneered queer representation.
The diverse images you will experience explore LGBTQIA+ experiences and perspectives caught on camera. Each series act as a profound visual testament to the queer community and how they live, survive, thrive, challenge, love and explore.
Queertography is presented as part of Head On Photo Festival 2024 and features the work of Australian and internationally renowned photographers:
- Claire Martin
- François Silvestre de Sacy
- Jamie James
- Jenny Papalexandris
- Marc Aziz Ressang
- Mitchell Moreno
- Nikolaos Menoudarakos
- Pierre Dalpé
- Sarah Mei Herman
- Thanh Vuong
Head On Photo Festival
The fifteenth annual Head On Festival 2024 offers a diverse and compelling program of free exhibitions, discussions and social events framed by the evocative visual narratives presented.
This year we received an incredible 4000+ applications from 58 countries telling powerful stories about community, conflict, the environment, and more. Stories that connect with our audience, sparking feelings of empathy, awe, and inspiration.
We chose 90+ exhibitions and 600+ artists to showcase across Sydney, Australia and online. We are committed to sharing diverse ideas and building Australia’s reputation as an international cultural powerhouse, broadening the talent base that comes to Sydney.
As one of Australia’s few remaining photography organisations, our work in storytelling and curation is more important than ever, especially in illuminating the perspectives, styles, and forms that break new ground.
INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION, STORY-TELLING AND IMAGINATION.
Australia’s world-leading photography festival once again filters photography down to its finest.
