Exhibitions

Australian Women Photographers

A new touring exhibition from PHOTO Australia celebrates women photographers who are receiving international acclaim and reaching new audiences through publishing. Collectively these publications reflect a variety of approaches to contemporary practice and address a range of subjects – social, political and environmental – of universal concern.

Australian and New Zealand Photobook Awards

View the finalists for the award that represents the very best of new publishing from Australia and Aotearoa. Presented by Photo Collective and PHOTO Australia.

Beauty in Small Things

Smaller format books often exhibit playfulness and creativity. In this exhibition curated by Matt Dunne and Bella Capezio a selection of publications are presented to celebrate what a smaller footprint can do for photography, for books and for the viewer. Featuring books primarily from the Asia Pacific Photobook Archive, Dunne has also selected 15 additional titles from his personal collection to highlight what is possible when artists embrace a smaller size.
