Join artist and UTS School of Design Associate Head of School, Cherine Fahd, in conversation with UTS Curator, Stella Rosa McDonald, for a lunchtime talk exploring the provocations at the heart of POSE, a new collection display celebrating recent donations to the UTS Art Collection.
On view at the UTS Tower foyer between 9 May – 3 June 2025, POSE brings together two photographic series by Cherine Fahd—Plinth Piece (2014) and Shadowing Portraits (2014–16)—that subvert traditional modes of portraiture and expand the possibilities of self-representation.
Fahd and McDonald will unpack the playful and political dimensions of photographic performance and the ways in which gesture, embodiment, and mimicry can trouble the authority of the photographic gaze.
