Carol Jerrems: Portraits is a major exhibition of one of Australia's most influential photographers. Jerrems' intimate portraits of friends, lovers and artistic peers transcend the purely personal and have come to shape Australian visual culture. Set against the backdrop of social change in the 1970s, her practice charted the women's movement, documented First Nations activism, put a spotlight on youth subcultures and explored the music and arts scenes of the era.
On show exclusively at the National Portrait Gallery until 2 March.
