Inundated explores the harrowing impacts of the 2022 floods in Lismore and the Northern Rivers region, told through the lens of Northern Rivers photographer Natalie Grono.
The exhibition features a series of 16 images (including the award-winning Peter takes a moment which secured Grono the Nikon-Walkley Photo of the Year Award in 2022) which highlight the destruction caused while also acknowledging the resilience of local people overcoming adversity together.
The Northern Rivers region of northern NSW has historically been prone to flooding, with record floods of 12.2m occurring in 1954 and 1974, however the 2022 floods rose to an unthinkable 14.4 metres, which far surpassed the 100-year flood level.
The exhibition is especially significant as the Australian climate continues to change and floods are becoming more prevalent worldwide, with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology warning in 2018 that heavy rainfall is expected to become more intense with each degree of global warming.
Inundated provides a rarely seen perspective, not only of the aftermath, but of the extreme flood levels reached in this tragic event and allow visitors to better understand the severity of this natural disaster.
