OTHER OTHER
The marginalised of the marginalised
Guest curators: Peter Waples-Crowe, Lennox Diamonds (formerly Pila Darling)
Artists: Kiarash Zangeneh, Andrew Forbes-Macphail, Blake Jenner, Callum Bradley, Daniel Ward, Jemima Gale, Kai Clancy, Lola-Mae Pink, Lennox Diamonds (formerly Pila Darling), Michele Vescio (formerly Myke Vescio)
OTHER OTHER focuses on the voices of those of the queer community who experience otherness from within our circles. The Melbourne-based artists include queer First Nations, those of other cultural and racial backgrounds, members of the trans and gender diverse communities, and people who experience disability. This exhibition explores being othered through cultural divides, racism, fat phobia, body, gender and/or sexual policing and ableism, which contributes to the experience of marginalisation, reinforcing an inability to access support, lateral violence and internalised phobias.

VISITOR COMMENTS
I was very glad to see this in Werribee. I grew up here as a gay man, and it was hard. Thankyou to these brave artists. It is a great exhibition. Thanks again.

Travelled from Melbourne’s north east to see this. Great to see Midsumma being celebrated in the west through this exhibition, not only celebrating LGBTI but Indigenous art! More needed and hopefully you can expand on this into the future.

Thanks for putting this important message into the public arena. It’s so important for us all to THINK about the struggles faced hourly by those who don’t fit the binary “norm”.
