Nevena, Macca and Paul are joined live in the studio by the team from Queer Latinx: Migrating Down Under.

Capturing humans navigating layers of identities, hopes and dreams.

This photographic project curated by Jose-Octavio Ortiz and Arun Ernesto Munoz explores the layers of identity and intersectionality experienced by LGBTIQ+ Latinx people living in Australia. These photos allow subjects to present themselves and represent their own lives and new reality as migrants

Arun Ernesto Munoz’s photographic project offers an intimate view, allowing the subjects to present themselves authentically and articulate their personal experiences of adapting to a new reality as migrants. The visual narrative transcends conventional boundaries, pushing the formal and conceptual properties of the medium to provoke contemplation on life journeys.

The exhibition amplifies the voices of Latinx LGBQTI+ individuals and encourages spectators to reflect on their own life journeys and who they are now. The accompanying artist-in conversation event on January 28, 2024, provides a platform for dialogue, fostering a deeper understanding of how the narratives are presented in the photographic exhibition.
