Concept:

Every male in Australia faces his own unique pressures to conform to ingrained Australian gender culture.  Using art, we aim to explore the perspective of men from many different backgrounds on what it is like for them to be male in the 21st Century.

 

With this common ground we will produce a collection of art that appeals to all tastes and in light of International Men's Day, provides a chance for dialogue to begin on the issues that we each face.
