The Queer Photo festival continues in Wyndham early next month with the Wyndham Precinct Tour on Sunday March 3.
Beginning at the Wyndham Art Gallery with a with a talk from UK photographer Sunil Gupta on his exhibition of The New Pre-Raphaelites, the tour then moves to Station Place where Peter Waples-Crowe will give an artist talk on his work on display at Werribee Station, Affirm.
The tour will then finish at Werribee Mansion where Karla Dickens will give a talk on their new work To See or Not to See and Brazillian born but London based artist, Asafe Ghalib will discuss his exhibition Queer Immigrants.
As the name suggests, Ghalib’s work captures people not disimilar themselves, migrants who are also members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Coming from a religious family and background, Ghalib is a self-taught artist whose work embraces rebellion in order to reclaim their identity and history. They are best known for their imagery that challenges dominant ideas around masculinity, gender, sexuality, and representation of LGBTQIA+ people in the United Kingdom. Queer Immigrants is a prime example.
