Sons of Beaches - Photography Exhibition

An exhibition of sand, surf and life savers. Kurb Gallery, 310 William St, Perth. Sunday-Thursday, 1pm-7pm; Friday-Saturday: 1pm-8pm.

Sons of Beaches is a photography exhibition which re-imagines the icon of the Australian surf-lifesaver, taking it beyond its traditional associations with masculinity, mateship and machismo. The exhibition reveals stories of individual surf lifesavers, moving past stereotypes to present the human story behind the icon: one that is poignant, dramatic, humorous and even quirky.  These images re-purpose the icon for consumption by a 21st century multi-cultural, multi-faceted audience, and engage currently evolving attitudes about men, masculinity and about being Australian. Sons of Beaches is part of the FotoFreo 2008 Festival of Photography.
