Last Chance

Under a Southern Star:          
Identity and Environment in
Australian Photography

Closing January 5, 2025

Australia has inspired many artists to reexamine and navigate the country’s troubled colonial history through questions about identity, belonging, and its increasingly fragile ecosystems. Under a Southern Star showcases the work of twelve contemporary Australian artists together with earlier, iconic photographs related to the nation’s history.
