ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
'Carol Jerrems: Portraits' is a major exhibition of one of Australia’s most influential photographers. Jerrems’ intimate portraits of friends, lovers and artistic peers transcend the purely personal and have come to shape Australian visual culture. In a career that spanned only 12 years before her tragic death at the age of 30, Jerrems captured the world around her with curiosity and courage.
Drawn from the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the National Library of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery, the exhibition showcases more than 140 photographs, from Jerrems’ lesser-known early work to the now iconic Vale Street 1975, and coincides with the 50th anniversary of her landmark publication A book about Australian women. Featuring portraits of cultural figures like Anne Summers, Bobbi Sykes, Evonne Goolagong and Linda Jackson the exhibition examines how her work defined a decade and continues to shape how we think about photography today.

ABOUT CHARLIE VILLAS:
Charlie Villas is a DJ, music curator and event producer who has become one of Australia’s most celebrated vibe makers and party starters. Originally from the Philippines and now residing in the stunning Blue Mountains on Darug and Gundungurra Country, Charlie is known for her infectious energy and ability to seamlessly blend musical genres. Her passion for music began with a teenage obsession for collecting disco, funk and soul records, which has led to a broad knowledge that spans eras and cultures.

♿ This program will be wheelchair accessible.
