Join Ballarat locals, photographer Georgina Matherson and poet and historian Nadia Rhook, for a hands-on workshop exploring the intersections of photography and poetry.
Engaging with the exterior of the National Centre for Photography, housed in the former Union Bank building, you will take photographs and write poetry in response to its layered histories. Through a series of guided exercises, the workshop considers how attention to both the visible and invisible aspects of a building can shape creative responses to place.
No prior experience in photography or writing is required. Places are limited to ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants. Booking in advance is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
There will be an option to develop work created during the workshop for possible inclusion in an online exhibition on the Ballarat International Foto Biennale website. This workshop is presented as part of Ballarat Heritage Festival.
