During the Victorian Seniors Festival, take the opportunity to hear from local artist Brian O'Dwyer, who will discuss his photographic series Multipurpose with Art Gallery of Ballarat Curator Emily Wakeling.

Taken in a swimming pool change room, the images are portraits of O'Dwyer's early morning swimming companions. The accompanying texts and titles also uniformly focus on their common ground; disregarding conventional identifiers of age, class, gender, ethnicity or mobility.

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is pleased to partner with Deaf Victoria to provide an Auslan interpreter and automatic caption services for deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees at this event.

This event is free, but bookings are essential.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
