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.
See this performance at Liveworks, Performance Space's flagship festival of live art taking over Carriageworks from 22 - 26 October 2025.
