Photo Australia, Melbourne and Autograph, London are collaborating to present an international season of PHOTO LIVE talks. The ten free online conversations between artists, photographers and curators from Australia and the UK will explore ideas of identity and belonging in the context of human rights, representation, and social justice. This program highlights the importance of centring black, Indigenous, feminist, queer and other marginalised voices and storytelling in photography.

 

Artist Ying Ang (AU) was in conversation with Katrina Schwarz, Curator of the 2022 Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, The Photographers’ Gallery, London (UK) on Wednesday 13 October, 2021. Watch the recording below.
