About the exhibition
Familial
‘Familial’ brings together 6 artists from around the world whose work navigates the emotional and psychological terrain of family — of parents and children, of unbreakable bonds, tenderness and the enduring ache of absence. Presented by the Centre for Contemporary Photography, this exhibition explores the complexity of familial connections through presence and loss, in a meditation on love and longing and the essential imprints our closest relationships leave behind.
Accessible and simple in its approach, ‘Familial’ allows us to see sons and daughters photographing parents, and inversely, parents photographing their children, sometimes slowly over decades and sometimes with urgency. To photograph another person is to know them differently, to see them afresh; and to see the images made by a parent or an offspring is to see the world anew, through their eyes.
Featuring: Taysir Batniji, EJ Hassan, Nur Aishah Kenton, Mariela Sancari, Abigail Varney and Annie Wang.
Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) is supported by Spicers Australia, Hahnemuhle, HCPro, Colour Factory and Final Grade.
