‘I’m not a man, I’m not a woman. Gender isn’t real; it’s a structure created, enforced, and policed by our society, and I’m here to tear it down. I identify as queer, trans, gender non-conforming (gnc) and non-binary (nb). I ask people to use the pronouns “they” and “them” when referring to me. My story isn’t my body. We minimise wildly varied life experiences and perpetuate the lie that gender is binary and defined by our genitals. Ask me about what has shifted within my spirit, heart, mental health, confidence, connections, family. Ask me about my personal growth and self-awareness.’
The exhibition is selected from a national field of entries, reflecting the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
