PETA CLANCY Powerhouse Museum’s Photofields 2024

November 20, 2024

Peta Clancy is part of the Powerhouse Museum’s Photofields 2024 program with a double workshop at Sydney Observatory on 7th December at 1pm and 3:30pm. This year’s program explores the powerful role of lens-based media in telling stories about the cosmos, the sky and 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.
