How to Find Your Own Voice in Photography, with Pixy Liao

Photographer and Her Muse (2014) by Pixy Liao

Born in Shanghai, China and currently residing in Brooklyn, New York, Pixy Liao is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, installation, and performance. She is most known for her staged and often humorous photographs that feature herself and her boyfriend-turned-muse, Moro.

Join Pixy Liao for a two-hour workshop and explore how the artist has developed her project, Experimental Relationship. Selected participants will be given a unique insight into Liao’s process and approach, followed by an opportunity to have their photography portfolio reviewed by the artist.

The Powerhouse is inviting expressions of interest from emerging photographers who are studying photography, visual communication, fine arts or equivalent.

To register your interest in this workshop please complete an EOI. Workshop spaces are strictly limited and open to tertiary students only. Applications close March 31, 2023. If you are successful, you will be notified by April 7, 2023.
