OCULI presents

Join OCULI at ESCAC by Brand X for their new community event OCULI presents, where collective members curate a selection of photography projections for your enjoyment.

In light of the great loss of many vital institutions, OCULI aims to bring the photography community together for an evening of viewing photography alongside vibrant discussions.

This is a great opportunity for networking with other photographers, editors, gallerists and a wider community with interest in photography.

The event kicks off at 7pm with projections starting at 7.15pm sharp.

There is an affordable onsite bar and snacks available. Oculi member Conor Ashleigh is curating the music to keep up the pace. Up to five people will be featured on the night and there will be an opportunity for questions too.

RSVP via Eventbrite essential
