Exhibition launch | The basement (SOLD OUT)

About
Celebrate the opening of 'The basement: photography from Prahran College (1968–1981)' at MAPh.In May 1968 the newly formed photography department of Prahran Technical School (known as Prahran College of Advanced Education (PCAE) from 1973) moved into the basement of a freshly completed art and design building on the corner of High Street and Thomas Street in Melbourne’s inner southeastern suburb of Prahran. Here, for the first time, in what would become one of Australia’s most progressive art schools, photography was taught as an artform.
Featuring the work of approximately 60 artists, The basement brings to light rare vintage prints from the 1970s and 1980s, key archival ephemera and folio work – from students and teachers of the College’s Diploma of Art & Design (Photography).
Join us to hear from the curators, view these incredible works and enjoy a glass of wine from our generous sponsor, St Hubert's.
