Do you like nothing better than a winter afternoon watching and discussing film?
Join us for a weekend of films by artist and filmmaker Helen Grace. Hear 10 local residents respond to Helen Grace’s work. Join the conversation with curator and writer Julie Ewington.
Over the last four decades artist and filmmaker Helen Grace has produced a body of moving image works, and includes film, video and animated photography works. These short films will be introduced by the artist in two open screenings. Ten local writers and creatives have accepted the invitation to provide a creative response to each of Helen’s films. What they have to say will surprise, delight and challenge.

“Presenting Australian LGBTQ+ artists across generations, this exhibition considers how the community narrate their histories—how voices are celebrated, how the queer community shift otherwise heteronormative readings of history and information.
Moving across generations, from the late 70s through to now, these artists come together in a celebration of queer community, and consider the ways in which stories are passed down, how lives are remembered.
From Amazon Acres, a female-only commune of the 70s and 80s, to capturing moments of queer Indigenous joy in the 90s and portraits of contemporary queer bodies, the exhibition reflects on the impact and ongoing importance of queer ancestors and connections across generations.
Please note this exhibition contains images of deceased people.”
