Threads explores the tangible and intangible connections, ties of friendship, shared practices and emerging collaborations–all which play a vital role in sustaining the community organisation Refugee Art Project.
Staging Portraits (2022 – ongoing) is a portrait series of the community at The Bearded Tit, a queer institution and bar in Redfern. Through photographs and written responses, it offers a glimpse into the ways queer people have redefined concepts of home and family, often out of necessity and survival.
