Photobooth Self-Portraits Workshop (Ages 5-12)

Join us for a photobooth self-portrait workshop inspired by Auto-Photo: A Life in Portraits (ages 5-12).

Catlin Langford, curator of Auto-Photo: A Life in Portraits, has sorted through thousands upon thousands of photobooth strips throughout her research – there may not be a more qualified person in Australia to lead a workshop on photobooth self-portraits!

Following a tour of the exhibition, you will be invited to create your own photobooth strips of self-portraits based on works in the exhibition. Each participant will be provided with two photobooth strips included as part of the workshop. A range of props and art tools will be available, and participants are encouraged to bring props from home.

This is a ticketed workshop, registration is essential.

Catlin Langford is a curator, writer and researcher specialising in photography. She has held a range of curatorial and educational positions, including at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal College of Art, London, among others. 

This event is for children aged 5-12. Teens aged 13-17 can join this workshop running on 11 July.
