Living in a society that places so much importance on youth, ageing is the ultimate taboo. In this discussion we look at the ways photographers are normalising ageing, and visualising the changing body with pride and positivity.

With exhibiting artists Ponch Hawkes, James Henry, and Jenny Lewis. Chaired by Ryan Jefferies, Creative Director, Science Gallery Melbourne.

 

Taking place in person and streaming live, PHOTO 2022’s headline talks program PHOTO Live addresses the social and cultural role photography plays in our lives and how art can activate cities and public spaces. Featuring exhibiting artists in conversation with curators and academics, these exchanges will explore a range of issues in response to the theme Being Human.

 

PHOTO Live was presented in partnership with Metro Tunnel Creative Program and Monash Gallery of Art.

 

 

This talk took place at the Gandel Digital Future Lab ACMI, Fed Square on Thursday May 12, 2022. You can watch a recording of the event below.
