Eye to Eye examines 46 years of womanhood through the lens of artists Julie Millowick OAM (MAPgroup photographer) and Jody Haines.
The year 1975 was a significant year for women’s rights – named International Women’s Year by the United Nations. "Eye to Eye" includes images from Millowick’s archive from 1975 to 1985 (the International Decade for Women), displaying a collection of photographs of Australian women in everyday life. Haines expands the conversation to the present with a series of new portraits, created in collaboration with local women and in response to the last 46 years. Central explorations include gender inequity, feminist futures, the politics of representation and where women see themselves positioned in 2021.
