Breathing Archive | Jamie James

Breathing Archive “A photographically queer conversation” chronicles Sydney’s queer and kink performance cultures of the 1990s and early 2000s. Made on Gadigal land by photographer Jamie James with dramaturge/performer Victoria Spence and creative team Breathing Archive combines storytelling projections performance and community voice in a no-holes-barred queer experience.

Drawing on the early years of James’ rich and vibrant longitudinal documentation Breathing Archive plumbs the depths of collective memory; queer lineage and celebrates the ways we access and understand our shared histories.
