Dykes on Bikes® Sydney: An origin story with Kate Cornish
Join Kate Cornish, Tilly Robba and Steph Jowett as they speak to Jarrad Seng about the ideas behind their documentary film - 'Dykes on Bikes® Sydney: An origin story' and why they wanted to make it. Dykes on Bikes Sydney is Australia’s longest-running female-identified motorcycle club, and one of the country’s oldest LGBTQIA+ community groups. With chapters all over the world, these days, the club is about having a good time with friends and giving back to the community. But things weren't always so recreational. Dykes on Bikes® Sydney emerged in response to gay hate crimes in the 1980s. The group met on weekend evenings to patrol the streets of Sydney and break up the attacks that were happening. From protectors of the streets to Sydney Mardi Gras icons, this project dives into present-day member accounts of their history, why they continue to ride today and continuing their legacy for future generations. A hybrid of a documentary and visual poem, this is a love letter to the Dykes on Bikes® Sydney.

The Dynamic World of Skate Photography, Kingsley Attwood.
New Zealand based photographer, Kingsley Attwood has made his mark on the skate photography world with his moody and action filled shots. Kingsley's unique style of skate photography has been formed by his continual search to capture the action from unique vantage points, a place where no one else would think of, or a location where no one in the crowd would be able to see the action from. This along with his preference for black and white imagery, allows him to capture fresh and unseen perspectives. In this episode Kingsley joins Canon New Zealand host Ben Journee to chat about his creative journey, the importance of storytelling, how to get your images in a magazine, and what we can all learn about the dynamic world of skate photography.
