Days of Their Lives presents a survey of contemporary photography by women in the early stages of their practices; Chloe Bartram, Anaïs Bellini, Yabini Kickett, Millie Murfitt, Sherry Paddon, Ebony Talijancich, Erica Watkin, and Chiluba Young.

The works produced by each of these locally based artists offer insight into the current concerns of emerging female photographers today – from challenging patriarchal narratives and refiguring traditional gender representations, to examining expansive topics such as consumerism, power, sexuality, memory, and nostalgia. In an era where digital photography is ubiquitous, these diverse bodies of work collectively reaffirm the importance of a considered lens-based artistic practice.
