Tender

Next date: Saturday, 16 November 2024 | 12:00 AM to Saturday, 25 January 2025 | 11:59 PM

16 November 2024 - 25 January 2025

Tender reveals the nuances and tender sides of the communities of Western Sydney through four individual but interconnected documentary films by multidisciplinary artists: Mohammad Awad (3awadi), Carielyn Tunion, Diamond Tat, and Sharon Mani. Each of these films welcomes viewers into an intimate exchange of personal narratives, revealing the tenderness in our communities and experiences that is often overlooked by mainstream media.

Mohammad Awad debunks the myth that queer and trans people need to leave their Western Sydney homes to find love, joy and intimacy, in Bikes, a documentary music video. 

Carielyn Tunion’s video poem, i am a deepsea fisherwoman, but i do not catch fish, explores the diaphanous connections of a personal diasporic family story rooted in the archipelago known as ‘the Philippines’ and Hong Kong.

Diamond Tat’s poetic documentary film, Marrow, is a cinematic ode to womanhood inspired by her and her mother’s immigration experience, capturing both its silent volatility and profound gentleness.

And in Sharon Mani’s work, At The Heart of it, local memories and stories are shared from those who call Western Sydney home.
