Ten free online conversations between artists, photographers and curators from Australia, exploring ideas of identity and belonging in the context of human rights, representation, and social justice. These events are part of an international season of PHOTO LIVE talks presented by Photo Australia in collaboration with Autograph. This program highlights the importance of centring black, Indigenous, feminist, queer and other marginalised voices and storytelling in photography.
These talks are part of our exhibition Care | Contagion | Community — Self & Other and are taking place in the lead up to PHOTO 2022 International Festival of Photography (29 April – 22 May 2022).
Please note, Silvia Rosi's conversation with Pippa Milne is no longer available to watch back.
