With the support of the British Council, we invite you to join Sandra Bruce (Director, Exhibitions & Collections) and Tara James (Exhibitions Project Coordinator) from the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, in conversation with Magda Keaney (Senior Curator, Photographs) and Denise Vogelsang (Director of Communications & Digital) from the National Portrait Gallery, London. Together, they will consider the power of the photograph and how the exhibitions Hold Still/Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize (NPG, London) and Living Memory: National Photographic Portrait Prize (NPG, Australia) reflect each nation’s identity and our shared human experiences at this unique point in history.

Supported by the British Council as part of the UK/Australia Season.
