Lesbians caught in Joh's time
Photographer Heather Faulkner’s A Matter of Time, at the Brisbane Powerhouse March 26 - April 28, is the first documentary transmedia exhibition dedicated to telling the stories of lesbians who lived in Queensland during the more conservative socio-political era of the mid-late 20th century.
Part of Faulkner’s doctorate in documentary photography, the exhibition crosses the boundaries of time, politics and prejudice to tell the stories of eight Queensland lesbians through words and vision.
Faulkner is crowd-funding to help pay for printing and mounting costs and if you would like to contribute go to: pozible.com/amatteroftime
