This SaturJoin us at the QCA Lecture theatre next to our gallery for the Symposium ‘Diffracting Photography’.

Photographic disciplines have undergone successive changes in the past twenty years, heightened with mainstream use of smartphones and social media cultures. Across a one-day event, join respected speakers from across the continent who are working at the nexus of practical, conceptual, and theoretical approaches to photography.

This event is organised around three sessions: The second of these is ‘Taking pictures or making pictures?’

This session will explore the apparent differences, intersections and possible real-world implications of taking versus making approaches to photography. The conversation will include issues pertaining to power, relationality and creative re/visioning—holding space for diverse cultural and socio-political contexts and perspectives.

Speakers: Hayley Millar Baker (Melbourne), Martyn Jolly (Canberra), Jo-Anne Driessens (Gold Coast)

Chair: Dominique Chen (Sunshine Coast)
