Photofields 2024: Sydney Photography Program Returns with Expanded Lineup
Photofields 2024, a photography event by Powerhouse, returns to Sydney this December 6–7, with an expanded program of workshops, talks, screenings and an exhibition. Held at Ace Hotel, Golden Age Cinema and Sydney Observatory, the program will bring together leading photographers, astronomers, and filmmakers to explore the powerful role of lens-based media in telling stories about the cosmos, the sky, and Country.
This year’s program is especially significant as it marks the 150th anniversary of the Sydney Observatory’s groundbreaking photographic capture of the Transit of Venus, an event that, in 1874, united astronomers and photographers in an extraordinary interdisciplinary collaboration. This spirit of collaboration between the applied arts and sciences will resonate throughout this year’s Photofields program.
