de-centre re-centre

de-centre re-centre highlights the strength and diversity of contemporary photography in Australia. Deploying and disrupting conventions of portraiture and landscape, the selected artists explore place and belonging in First Nations, diasporic and queer communities.

It is a co-op production between: Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, Perth Centre for Photography and Perth Festival 2025

Employing a range of practices including staged image making, analogue processes, and video, the featured artists present counter narratives to marginalisation.

Their artworks assert the presence and centrality of their subjects whilst deftly navigating the politics of visibility; exploring strategies for survival, bearing witness, care, and resistance.

Featuring the photography of: Kyle Archie Knight, Ramak Bazmar, Torika Bolatagici, Miriam Charlie, Brenda L Croft, Gerwyn Davies, Mary-Lou Divilli, Amos Gebhardt, Simryn Gill, Naomi Hobson, Nuriah Jadai, Maria Maraltadj, Sherry Quiambao, Scotty So, Tace Stevens and Taloi Havini
