'HERE&NOW20: Perfectly Queer' curator Brent Harrison speaks with exhibiting artist Benjamin Bannan about his new work 'Salvation Rainbow', on show in HERE&NOW20.

HERE&NOW20: Perfectly Queer is the 2020 iteration of Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery's annual HERE&NOW exhibition series exploring issues and themes pertinent to Western Australian contemporary art practice.

Curated by Brent Harrison, HERE&NOW20: Perfectly Queer focuses on the practice of queer artists in Western Australia and examines how artists draw on histories and their own lived experiences to create artworks that reflect on what it means to be queer. It features artwork by Benjamin Bannan, Nathan Beard, Janet Carter, Lill Colgan, Jo Darbyshire, Brontë Jones, Andrew Nicholls and Colin Smith.
