Introduction by Gary Paramanathan, the curator and organiser of Them Heavy People.

Gary Paramanathan works at the intersection of arts, culture and community. Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Australia, Gary studied arts management, screen and media. He has written and directed a number of short films, written feature essays and recounted personal narratives. His work can be seen on ABC iView, The Guardian and The Journal of Porn Studies (yes!). He works for AFTRS, the national film school in Australia, based in Sydney.

This edition of Them Heavy People is celebrating our queer families. How is it like being queer and brown, growing up queer, stumbling into queerness and maintaining a connection with your community and family?
