The basement lectures | Down on the street
About
The streets of Melbourne, particularly in neighbourhoods like Prahran and St Kilda, were vibrant subjects for the students at Prahran College. Through their lenses, they documented not just the physical environment but the social and political trends of the time, while exploring their own identities and experiences.Each photograph tells a story of the camaraderie of local communities, the tensions of social movements, or the beauty in the mundane. From candid street photography to experimentation with abstract forms or conceptual narratives, the diversity of styles and approaches showcases the artistic growth and individual perspective of each photographer.
Join MAPh curator Stella Loftus-Hills with Andrew Chapman and Robert Ashton for an exploration of Melbourne life in the 70s through the work of Prahan College students.
