Join us for the opening and book launch of Head On Foundation's 2020 Vision project.

Due to the current NSW Health advice, it is essential that you RSVP before attending the official opening. To allow as many people as possible to attend the opening, please book one time slot per person - there will be another space for you to stay beyond your allocated time.

Head On Foundation invited NSW photographers of all genres to submit images that show how they and their communities were affected by the ‘Black Summer’, the subsequent flooding, the pandemic, and the general unrest and turbulence in world politics as communities demanded overdue social change. The submissions were judged anonymously, in line with our mission to provide a fair and equal platform for all artists to create, showcase and gain exposure for their work.

Exhibited photographers: Alyson Bell, David Hufton, Fabian Muir, Fla Rossler, Hamish Ta-mé, James Cole, Jenny Papalexandris, John Janson-Moore, Jon Hart, Julia Coddington, Lisa Hogben, Lisa Sorgini, Max Stewart, Natalie Grono, Raja Islam, Sam Ferris, Sam St Jon, Tim Johnson, Tom Williams, Tony Naumovski

Shortlisted: Catherine Cloran, Colin Lucas, Corinna Lueg, Derek Hamlin, Emmy Yiannopoulos, Franky Tsang, Gus Armstrong, Ian Darling, Jenny Templin, Jodie Harris, Katherine Williams, Les Irwig, Mattia Panunzio, Minya Holroyd, Nick Bannehr, Nicole Landgrebe, Peter Byrne, Ronnie Grammatica, Simon Ross, Vincenzo Amato

A book containing all 40 images from the project is available.

The Covid-19 pandemic hit the arts sector particularly hard. Head On Foundation is thankful to have received funding to support emerging and established photographers by providing them artist fees and free exhibition opportunities. 2020 Vision is a touring exhibition, starting in NSW’s Southern Highlands in May; the Central Coast in June and Sydney for Head On Photo Festival 2021 in November.

This project is proudly supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW as part of Arts Restart
