ABC Radio … on 3 NEW Exhibitions …

Very pleased to be interviewed by ABC Radio’s wonderful Drive presenter Charlie McKillop on the morning of the opening of three exhibitions in Cairns that I am more than heavily involved in.

The three exhibitions are spread across both the Court House Gallery and the new adjoining Mulgrave Gallery … the exhibition of my latest work “A Photographer’s Life – Part 3 – Portraits” … the exhibition of the work of Australian photojournalists that I curated alongside Head On Photo Festival Director Moshe Rosenzveig OAM, “Paper Tigers – An Anthology of Australian Photojournalism” … and the resulting photojournalism work from my mentorship of Trinity Bay High School visual arts students, “Word on the Street”.

Have known ABC’s Charlie for many years … she’s a great interviewer who makes sure she has completed all the research on her interviewees. It’s really just a friendly rewarding chat … ‘on air’. Thanks Charlie !

Won’t go into too much detail about the exhibitions here and will let the interview itself ‘fill you in’.

It runs for ten minute and forty seconds.

There are many more details on the three exhibitions , the opening eve event and a set of photographs at my blog post here … https://www.briancasseyphotographer.com/blog/2025/01/three-exhibition-openings-in-cairns/

“A Photographer’s Life – Part 3 – Portrait” and “Word on the Street” run till 29th February at the Mulgrave Gallery whilst “Paper Tigers’ finishes on the 22rd February at the Court House Gallery.

‘Paper Tigers’ … on ‘Google Arts & Culture’ …

Delighted to learn that ‘Paper Tigers’ … the compilation of the work of sixty Australian photojournalists curated by myself and Head On Photo Festival director Moshe Rosenvzeig OAM … now has another great published ‘airing’ on the distinguished ‘Google Arts & Culture’ platform (including, of course, my contribution ‘Abdullatif – Beaten Asylum Seeker’ – below – from one of the GA&C pages).

It was a (lengthy) and rewarding pleasure to work with Moshe to collate this project … and wonderful to see it now showing on a new platform amongst significant works from the Worlds leading museums and archives including (but far, far from ‘not only’) MoMa in New York, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the Tate Britain in London.

‘Paper Tigers – an Anthology of Australian Contemporary Photojournalism’ has already been exhibited to acclaim ‘on the walls’ at the ‘Twenty Twenty Six Gallery’ in Sydney (during last years Head On Photo Festival) and is also available in book form on the Head On website at … https://www.headon.com.au/product/paper-tigers-book … (if it hasn’t already sold out again).

The ‘Paper Tigers’ works can now be found on the ‘Google Arts & Culture’ platform at … https://artsandculture.google.com/search/exhibit…

Thanks to all the contributing PJ’s (some of which I nagged mercilessly) and the amazin’ Head On Photo Festival team.
