Darwin DiverCity Series: Georgia Politis to launch exhibition celebrating Territorian stories

·

Award-winning photographer Georgia Politis is set to launch her Darwin DiverCity Series exhibition on Friday, August 9 at Darwin Galleria in the Northern Territory from 5.30pm to 7pm.

The Darwin DiverCity Series was created by Georgia in 2020, initially as a promotion to celebrate diversity in the NT. After just two sessions, the series was quickly changed to a free passion project which has achieved over 50 free sessions since June 2020. Series one has now closed, with articles and a following Australia-wide.

“To get this far in what came from a very small idea to what it is now, is something I could have only dreamed of,” Georgia tells The Greek Herald.

“The project represents my love for culture, documentation of people and my home. I have always wanted to do something that will be considered historic – through the power of photography. Doing these for free for the community was the best decision I ever made.”

The exhibition launch on Friday, August 9 is being held to celebrate the completion of the first series of the Darwin DiverCity project after four years. Forty-eight portraits will be displayed along with their stories celebrating what it means to be a Territorian, and the many characters, cultures and stories that come with it.

The exhibition is being supported by Activate Darwin and will be on display at Darwin Galleria for one week only only Saturday, August 17. There is free entry.
