Presentation by Liss Fenwick
Liss will delve into their journey beginning with photographs taken as a teenager in Humpty Doo, a rural district of the so-called ‘Northern Territory’. The resulting book, Humpty Doom (pub Bad News Books), explores the relationship between their family and the Larrakia land they inhabit. It was a finalist in the 2023 Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards. Liss also will discuss their work and share images from their latest project.
