Photographing with Country with Peta Clancy

When

Saturday 7 December 2024 from 1pm to 2:30pm Saturday 7 December 2024 from 3:30pm to 5pm

Cost

Starting from: $35

Colonial landscape photographs from Australia were often produced for scientific, topographic, or tourism purposes and reflect aesthetic, possessive, and economic perspectives on land and waterways. Landscape photographs tend to overlook Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestral and cultural connections with Country.

For this workshop, participants are invited to bring a printed photograph of Country, landscape, or place to respond to. Participants will consider the agency of Country and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the depicted land. Discussions will reflect on the multiple time frames, histories, and viewpoints represented in the photographs. Participants will produce a photographic reinterpretation or written response informed by their reflections and positionality in relation to their shared photograph.
