Photography & place education kit

This education kit has been developed to help K–12 students engage with the issues and ideas in the exhibition Photography & place through a close focus on the works of six artists: Lynn Silverman, Ian North, Michael Riley, Simryn Gill, Rosemary Laing and Anne Ferran.
