Learn more about the photographic practice of Jamie James and their documentation of Sydney's queer performance culture over the last thirty years.

After the talk, join us for a drink to celebrate the closing weekend of THE PARTY, a landmark exhibition celebrating LGBTQI+ party culture in Sydney from 1973 to 2002.

Jamie James is a freelance photographer whose work is informed by the ways people connect, hold memory and culture, and find identity and place. Jamie’s social documentary archive spans more than three decades, documenting a collaborative exchange with Sydney’s queer, sex radical/fetish, gender diverse, body-positive, and performance communities since 1993. With a commitment to inclusive image making, their work foregrounds issues of social justice and the ethical representation of those on the edges, always keen to reject the 'centre'.
