Giant Dwarf to Launch New Event Where Pollies Present Their Own Slide Night
Kristina Keneally and Julian Morrow invite Australian politicians to bring along their own personal photos — and explain themselves.
First, there was Laurel and Hardy. Then, there was Abbott and Costello. And now, there’s Morrow and Keneally. That’s Julian Morrow and Kristina Keneally. Yep, they’re now a showbiz duo.
The Chaser comedian and the former NSW premier are hitting the stage to present a new live event at Redfern's Giant Dwarf. Titled Photo Opp — Snapshots of a Public Life, it takes a look at the lives and careers of Australian politicians, as focalised through photographs brought by the pollie — or sent in by you.
The first session, happening on Thursday, May 28 at 8pm, will feature special guest Tony Windsor, former state and federal MP. He was an independent in not one but two hung parliaments, so you can expect some insight into both the Liberal State Government, as led by Nick Greiner, and the Federal Labor Government under Julia Gillard.
"Photo Opp will be like a slide night for politics junkies," said Keneally and Morrow in a media statement. "We’re looking forward to taking a trip down political memory lane with significant political figures like Tony Windsor. Photo Opp will provide a thought-provoking and fun look at the role of image and perception in public life, for better and worse. And we’'ll find out what was really going on behind the scenes in some famous political moments captured in photographs."
Photo Opp – Snapshots of a Public Life kicks off on Thursday, May 28 at 8pm at Giant Dwarf, 199 Cleveland Street, Redfern. Anyone can submit photos of Photo Opp guests via email to [email protected].
