Episode: S3 Ep71 Kirthana Selvaraj and her awesome green suit
Description: Kirthana Selvaraj is exploring her place in the world through her art. Painting herself into the halls of some of the longest standing and most traditional institutions. Her self portrait, The Green Suit, was an Archibald finalist in 2021 and a Portia Geach finalist in 2020. I remember seeing it and there was just something about the expression in her face and the way the suit hung on her that hit me.Â
Kirthana paints about the experience of being in a queer brown body and trying to find her place in the world, or even just see it.
