Sydney-based photographer and visual storyteller Sebastian Giunta will present his debut exhibition The Ganges: Life on the River

As part of the Head On Photo Festival Open Program.

With more than 15 years of experience as a photographer, Sebastian this time focuses on the banks of the Ganges River in Varanasi. The collection captures moments of work, worship, and rest, and intimate glimpses of a community shaped by the river’s constant flow. At its core, the exhibition is also a journey of personal discovery and self-growth guided by the faces, gestures, and rituals of life along this sacred waterway.

“Step into this exhibition and let the images carry you downstream, where life and river are one,” says Sebastian.

The opening night will feature:

• Live sitar performance by Ravi
• DJ set by DJ JRod
• Lucky door giveaway
• Refreshments provided

Accessibility & Amenities: Mobility access, free parking, and onsite amenities available.
