Rennie Ellis: Gay Pride 1973

In 1973 the Australian Gay Liberation movement upped the ante by instigating a series of Gay Pride festivals in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. This was a time when homosexual sex was classified as a criminal act across Australia, and the Gay Pride events sought to challenge these repressive laws and openly celebrate gay and lesbian culture in public spaces.

Friends & Fans: Wesley Stacey & Rennie Ellis

Two documentary-photography artists working in the nineteen-seventies explore new perspectives on the experience of festivity. Wesley Stacey took photographs at a fancy dress party in Sydney during the summer of 1972–73. Rennie Ellis documented a series of VFL grand finals at the MCG. He rarely took photographs of the game itself, preferring instead to focus on the supporters.
