SKIN DEEP is an interactive exhibition that presents intimate and personal stories of LGBTQI+ people through their tattooed bodies and stories, celebrating diversity, defiance and body art.

SKIN DEEP is made up of several unique components including a photographic exhibition, live performance and interactive events.

Powerhouse Director and Choreographer, Meryl Tankard, will work with community members and aerialist, The Amazing Ari, to present a beautiful performance of movement and dance that will slowly reveal the performer’s body tattoos, unveiling secrets and hidden stories. The Performance will be accompanied by arias of unrequited love by The Song Company.

Audiences will also have access to the Between Good and Evil tunnel exhibition by Stefania Riccardi, exploring the tattoos of the female inmates at the Darlinghurst Gaol – now the location of the National Art School.

Please note body nudity will be included as part of the exhibition and performances.
