Description:
Anthony Luvera is an Australian artist, writer and educator based in London. Anthony collaborated with Queer in Brighton on our first commissioned project ‘Not Going Shopping’ to explore the lives of LGTBQ+ people in Brighton.
Anthony invited eleven participants to meet him and bring photographs that told their story, and they were encouraged to consider what being queer means to them, and to photograph their experiences and the things they are interested in. The group met regularly to discuss their work and share photographs, and created self-portraits in a photo booth on the North Laine, which led to discussions about photography and identity.
Anthony said of the project: “the prospect of creating this work seemed to me to offer a useful way to further my inquiry into participation and self-representation with groups of marginalized individuals, and at the same time provide an opportunity to confront my own views of queerness as a gay man… Images play a powerful role in the stories we tell about ourselves and the histories told about us. Not Going Shopping expresses the points of view of the participants and myself about what it is to be Queer in Brighton.”
This photograph was taken by Ten Harber, one of the respondents to Anthony's open call for submissions. It captures the horizon on Brighton beach.
