Join us for a Lunchtime Talk with award-winning participatory visual artist and human rights researcher Lauri Parr, and educational sexologist and PhD candidate Kim Andreassen.Lauri and Kim will discuss the prolific work of Nan Goldin and its ongoing legacy in both queer theory and photographic practice. They reflect on the works’ themes of community, identity and relationship-based consent and the intersection between art, storytelling and public health.
Lauri Parr is an award-winning participatory visual artist, human rights researcher and 2025 Forrest Foundation Creative Fellow. She uses ethical photography, photovoice and storytelling – to explore, celebrate and share counter discourses – with underrepresented communities. Her portfolio spans collaborations in 14 countries in 5 continents, with work shared strategically in galleries, public institutions, and the public to influence social change.
Kim Andreassen (they/them) is a trans, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill parent and educational sexologist with a focus on diversity and inclusion for historically marginalised populations in research and education. They are currently the School Program Coordinator for Act Belong Commit and a PhD candidate at Curtin University. Their thesis focuses on best practice accessible consent education for people with disability aged 12-16 years of age.
