Photography - , ,
A name derived from the Greek goddess of daylight, Hemera is a curatorial collective specialising in photography and lens-based media. We are a team of five photography historians with a diverse range of research interests, experienced in researching, discovering, archiving, and exhibiting historical and contemporary photographic works. As many historic collections are becoming digitised and made accessible, Hemera seeks to inspire curiosity, exhibit, and interpret works of interest that might otherwise be lost within archives. We also aspire to open up diverse photographic practices to wider audiences, by providing a platform for emerging practitioners. Often exhibiting beyond the structure of an established institution, our philosophy is to be open to collaboration. We believe that working together and sharing knowledge and ideas is the best way to bring forward the most engaging projects.
