A look at bathing in its variety of forms, particularly relating to the queer community. From sauna etiquette, to cruising, to dropping the soap.

The timing of this show coincides with the screening of the Korean-American film ‘Spa Night’ as part of the Melbourne Queer Film Festival 2017. Matt McDonell of World Wide Wave (on JOY 94.9) and I recently spoke to Andrew Ahn (the writer-director of the film) from his home in LA about his debut feature film, and segments of this interview are included.

This show also features Sydney photographer William Yang, the documentary Continental, kd lang, Kid Congo Powers and Japanese pop-punk band Shonen Knife.
