Frontline Photojournalism Projections:

Thirty Years of Human Rights, Environment & Culture

by Glenn Lockitch

A whirlwind thirty-year audio-visual photojournalism journey, traversing the socio-political-environmental cultural landscape, from film to digital, starting at riots at the Berlin Wall in 1989, and travelling through Sydney Peace Squadron anti-war demonstrations on Sydney Harbour, South East NSW Forest Blockades, anti French nuclear testing riots in Tahiti, the impact of mining on indigenous communities and the environment in the Philippines, anti-corporate globalisation protests in Australia, ‘TAXI!’ Sydney taxi night-passengers and their stories, eviction of the Kalahari Bushmen from their ancestral lands, three Sea Shepherd Antarctic anti-whaling campaigns, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, and more. Plus newly edited work including ‘Antarctic Icebergs’ and ‘Sydney in Colour’. All are welcome to attend on 25 November at TAP Gallery 8pm. Entry by donation. Limited seats please book on

Moment of impact. The Japanese harpoon ship, the Yushin Maru 3 (right), tries to shake off the anti-whaling Sea Shepherd ship, the Bob Barker (left), from the Japanese factory ship the Nisshin Maru’s tail (background), ramming the Bob Barker and tearing a one-metre gash in its hull, and damaging itself in the process. Southern Ocean, Antarctica 2010.
In the name of ‘research’, using a loophole in the International Whaling Convention, Japanese whalers set a yearly quota of 1,035 whales to kill in the Antarctic waters, many in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. No academically respected, internationally peer reviewed scientific research papers have been published by the whalers. The multinational, anti-whaling, direct-action, marine conservation organisation Sea Shepherd sailed yearly to Antarctica until 2017 (the last of three Antarctic campaigns I photographed), to physically obstruct and stop the Japanese whaling slaughter. Japan ceased its whaling operations in the Antarctic, repeatedly blaming Sea Shepherd for its whale quota loss. Sea Shepherd, since 2002 when the organisation started obstructing the Japanese Antarctic whaling operations, directly helped save the lives of over 6,000 whales.

The Chaser Report: Live and Arty November 17th at 7pm

The Chaser Report - Live and Arty - Tap Gallery

The Chaser Report Live and Arty

The Chaser Report podcast is recording an episode live in the middle of TAP gallery on Friday 17th November, 2023 at 7pm.

This very arty and exclusive event is to celebrate a photo art exhibition of the work of British photographer Jennifer Forward-Hayter, which included capturing the behind-the-scenes magic and mystery of The Chaser’s creative process during a two-month period last year.

The podcast will be recorded live, and will feature Charles Firth, Craig Reucassel, Gabbi Bolt and Mark Humphries as well as appearances from the Chaser Interns, who actually do all the work.

Together, they will talk about their own interactions with art, and more importantly, discuss how to scam yourself an arts grant through low-level fraud.

Tickets are $30.
Get them here (ticketek).

The recording will last roughly one hour, followed by drinks. Drinks courtesy of Young Henry’s.
