The Pozible campaign aims to celebrate female photographers, who represented 52% of participants in the 2017 Ballarat International Foto Biennale. This year’s festival, which runs from 23 August to 20 October aims to present the work of French artist Noémie Goudal in the beautiful Williamson Gallery at the Art Gallery of Ballarat. Goudal is known for her ambiguous landscape images which “bring real and theoretical geographies into coexistence, creating a space between physical reality and its mental representation”. (Goudal)
There are different ways to get involved:
(1) Individuals and businesses can make a tax deductible donation (any value).

The first five individuals and businesses in Ballarat and Melbourne to pledge $1,000 or more will also be invited to join the curator for an exclusive preview tour when the exhibition opens.
(2) Individual photography enthusiasts or supporters of female talent can donate in exchange for the following rewards:
A voucher for a French language course with Alliance Française de Melbourne

Funds raised will help the organisers to cover some of the timber set build (materials, fabrication, delivery) and specialty framing needed which are central to the cultivation of the artist’s desired perceptual experience. Click here for full details.
