10TH BALLARAT INTERNATIONAL FOTO BIENNALE

Featuring highly credentialed artists working in a range of genres including fine art, photojournalism, commercial, documentary, and alternate process, The Real Thing celebrates the expertise and thriving communities of practising photographers in regional Victoria.

I feel very honoured to be selected to exhibit at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale 10th edition, showing my long-term documentary project called ‘Erased’ about a Tamil refugee family living in Ballarat.

The The Real Thing is curated by the founder of BIFB Jeff Moorfoot and will feature 15 regional Victorian creatives working in a range of genres including fine art, photojournalism, commercial, documentary, and alternate process.
