Sunday 2–4pm
Monash Gallery of Art

Join us for the launch of MGA’s exhibition, Speak the Wind by Hoda Afshar

In the exhibition, Speak the Wind, Iranian / Australian artist, Hoda Afshar proffers an enigmatic view of the rituals and lives that play out within the astounding landscape of these islands. As she uses photography and moving image to ensnare and parse the winds of the Strait of Hormuz, Afshar also grapples with the history of documentary photography; its beauty and its limits.

Also being launched at this time is Old ways, new ways, an exhibition looking at the ways that First Nation photographers make connections between the past and present, also presented as part of PHOTO 2022
