Evening lecture: Catherine Opie in context
1 May 2026 7-8pm
Coinciding with our exhibition Catherine Opie: To Be Seen, join photographic historian Flora Dunster for a context lecture exploring queer representation in photography.
Over the past 30 years, Opie has explored and positioned the portrait in numerous contexts and visual formats. Conceptually rigorous and formally executed, her photographs make visible queer communities, mentors and collaborators and Opie herself, through self-portraiture. With reference to images on display in the exhibition, in this lecture Dunster contextualises Opie’s oeuvre giving an overview of queer representation within photography more generally and offering a fascinating insight on her influence and impact on the art form.
