Women Photographers: Cherine Fahd

In this episode of NGA Art Talks, Anne O’Hehir, Curator of Photography at the Gallery, speaks to Cherine Fahd as part of a series of conversations recorded for the exhibition, Women Photographers 1853-2018 – a celebration of how women have shaped and redefined the medium, that recognises the strength of Australian photographers in a global context.

Born in Gadigal Nura/Sydney in 1974, Cherine Fahd has spent over two decades developing one of Australia’s most inventive photomedia practices. Her work moves fluidly between photography, performance, text and sculpture, yet remains grounded in a deep curiosity about what happens in the photographic encounter—how identity is read, how relationships form, and how images both reveal and obscure the complexities of lived experience.

Women Photographers 1853-2018 is on display at the National Gallery until 1 March 2026.

This exhibition and podcast are supported by The Bowness Family Foundation.
