How do the growing number of international photo festivals support emerging photographers in an age of mutable boundaries and strengthening borders? Join an international panel in their discussion on notions of place and the transmission of photography through the mechanism of the ‘festival’. The panel will discuss the perception and level of engagement with Australian photography in an international context and what effect it has for both emerging and established photographers.
