The Unorthodox Image: ANU School of Art & Design - photo access

The Unorthodox Image: Seen, Unseen, Between is a group exhibition created and organised by students at the ANU School of Art and Design. Experimentation is the uniting theme of the exhibition with each artist investigating a photographic technique of their choosing. Through research, iterative practice, and group feedback sessions, exhibiting students have developed their concepts over the semester. The resulting exhibition is a myriad of work that stretches across and beyond the preconceived notions of photography.

Opening: Thursday 28 May, 6–8pm
