The Truth About Fussy Eaters

Whilst eating only beige snacks like chips, bread, and chicken nuggets may just be the picky diet of a spoilt child, it may instead be the symptom of a deeply entrenched psychological disorder. The Truth About Fussy Eaters explores the cutting edge of eating disorder research with the help of expert therapists and psychologists, to shed light on a newly identified, potentially deadly and widely misunderstood condition which affects millions of people worldwide. Whilst disorders such as Bulimia and Anorexia relate to body image, sufferers of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder instead display a deep psychological aversion to certain foods, and are often left terrifyingly malnourished, unable to function, and on the precipice of a dangerous medical crisis.

Whore Pride

An art exhibition by Victorian sex workers facilitated through the RhED program and sponsored by Star Health which captures the complexity and nuance of working within current legislation and community stigma. An opportunity to challenge your own attitudes and view sex work through the perspective of the artists, the sex workers themselves. In 2016, Amnesty International chose to advocate for the decriminalisation of all aspects of consensual adult sex - sex work that does not involve coercion, exploitation or abuse. Community stigma impacts the law which in turn directly influences health, wellbeing and access to basic human rights.
