MAPgroup photographer Ponch Hawkes has been commissioned by the Monash Gallery of Art to explore the City of Monash by responding to key issues facing the community – a reflection of the city as a microcosm of the nation. Other exhibiting artists are Peta Clancy, Lee Grant and David Rosetzky. Portrait of Monash: the ties that bind will be showing from 15 February until 12 April.
