Queerstories

Chris has kept all of his teenage diaries. They are full of stories about high school, his first crummy job, girls that he thought that he liked, family arguments, his mum, his strong religious beliefs and him maybe being gay. Chris Brown grew up in the small coastal suburb of Stockton, in a deeply religious household. Chris works in Community Services as the coordinator of a vibrant and bustling Community Centre. He is a practicing artist and photographer, currently working on a photography project called 'Intertidal' which seeks to explore the changing socio-political environment of Newcastle, where he lives. Queerstories is an LGBTQI+ storytelling night programmed by Maeve Marsden, with regular events around Australia.
