Bent Western surveys the work of queer Australian artists who have forged connections
to Western Sydney in exciting and challenging ways over the last thirty years and made
important contributions to queer cultures in the region and beyond. Bent Western examines
the work of queer artists through a bent lens, acknowledging how Western Sydney itself is
marked by broader notions of multicultural difference and change.

Bent Western is an official event of the 30th Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival 2008.
