Coffee with the Curators: Joyce Evans

Curators Dr Grace Blakeley-Carroll and Shelly McGuire presented insights on the Library's new collection-in-focus display, featuring highlights from the Joyce Evans Archive.

The fascinating career of Joyce Evans OAM (1929–2019) spans more than six decades of landscape, documentary, and portrait photography. Her prolific body of work contains images capturing essential aspects of Australian life and represents one of the Library's largest collections of images by a contemporary photographer.

Attendees had an opportunity to ask questions and discover more over morning tea, following the viewing in the Treasures Gallery.

You can read more about Joyce Evans’ life in the NLA Publishing title, Joyce Evans by Sasha Grishin.
