Project Description

Eye, photography by Workability Twenty-five participants from Workability will develop and curate a photographic exhibition. The project is a collaborative process and participants will drive decisions related to their photographic art, themes, concepts and curation of the exhibition.

A range of cameras will be available throughout the project and professional photographer Colin Pass will facilitate a series of three workshops based on developing photography skills and conceptual and artistic intention.

The project offers participants an opportunity to develop photographic skills as well as engaging with the community by creating a platform to show their work. Preceding the launch the works will tour to three Eurobodalla Shire libraries. Workability will provide ongoing support to participants to further develop their interests, skills and networks.
