EdZone Photographic Exhibition - Pilgrim Church Cloisters

EdZone is a Department of Education flexible education facility located in the Pilgrim Uniting Church complex in Patterson Street. The results of a recent photographic project featuring the 1942 works of DG Wherrett are currently on exhibition in the Church Cloisters and well worth a look.
The DG Wherrett series from 1942 features black and white images of Launceston streetscapes. EdZone students recently retook those photos from the same angles to provide a fascinating before and after study of the evolution of Launceston. The Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery have kindly lent the original photos for the exhibition and the current EdZone series will be donated to their collection at the end of the display.

Given the number of photos the exhibition will feature 3-4 sets of 20 photos, so keep coming back to see the different series.

The EdZone team would love to see the materials collated into a book and published, so if you're able to assist with sponsorship and/or publising expertise please contact EdZone Project Officer, Shaun Hall, on 0400 693 710.
