Playing the Man (expired event)

ART ON THE MOVE are launching their new touring exhibition ‘Playing the Man’ by Graham Miller.

Childhood memories are the trigger for Graham Miller's photographic series Playing the Man. The playful and humorous images are a celebration of football and a nostalgic look at the past. Referencing Scanlens bubble-gum football cards from the 1970s and 80s, as well as press images from the era, Miller recreates himself as boyhood football heroes to explore issues of masculinity, identity, and cultural difference. At a moment when Australian sport and the wider community are debating the values and behaviour we expect of our role models, this exhibition provides an accessible and light-hearted entry into serious issues.

ART ON THE MOVE encourages connections and fosters a sense of belonging, creativity and a greater understanding of ourselves and the world through visual art. We do this by touring quality contemporary art with appropriate learning and development opportunities that speak to and develop the unique cultural narratives of communities whatever the cultural practice, age, ability and engagement with culture.
