Hey, Hetero! (2001)
Hey, Hetero! is a collaborative public art project created by artists Deborah Kelly and Tina Fiveash. In 2001, the project's six pieces appeared in 30 illuminated public advertising spaces in Sydney streets, on a billboard, online, and in magazines, newspapers, and bus ads.
Kelly and Fiveash created Hey, Hetero! to return the gaze at heterosexuality, the privileged sexuality that makes gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender movements possible and necessary. In the form of simulated mainstream advertisements, the artworks are intended to invite heterosexuality into public discourse.
Hey, Hetero! continues to travel the world and has appeared in Glasgow, Scotland; Berlin, Germany; Bombay, India; and Melbourne and Adelaide, Australia.
The project won the major arts award of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. |

Australian Art
Historically, Australia has produced some important gay and lesbian artists, but only recently have openly glbtq artists felt comfortable in Australia.
Australian Film
The recent efflorescence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer themes in Australian film must be placed in the context of a film industry that, prior to the 1970s, was characterized by social conservatism and censorship.
Photography: Lesbian, Post-Stonewall
Since Stonewall lesbian photographers have created an enduring archive that documents lesbian lives, searches for a lesbian sensibility, and explores various issues of particular import to the lesbian community.
