Presented by the Perth Centre for Photography, the Iris Award is Australia’s most distinctive and uninhibited portrait prize.
Embracing unrestrained approaches to portraiture, the Award celebrates works of nuance, raw emotion, and personal connection — revealing the essence of human relationships and lived experience, whether in love, joy, desire, distance, or disconnection. We are invited into the shifting constellations of human sentiment, a space for reflection and dialogue on intimacy and identity in contemporary life.
The Iris Award gives voice to both the personal and the universal, asking us to consider how we connect and where we fall short — with one another, with ourselves, and in our collective world.
Presented by Perth Centre for Photography
On view at Cheap Tongue Gallery, corner of James and Beach Street, Walyalup | Fremantle
4–18 October. Tuesday–Friday, 10am–3pm, or contact us to arrange an alternative time.

Carine Thévenau
13 in the Anthropocene
What is it like to be 13 years old in 2024? A time period that can be described as the Anthropocene, an epoch that recognizes the overwhelming impact humanity has had on our planet. This is a world that includes the climate crisis, artificial intelligence, and social media. The tempo of life is fast and, at times, seems erratic and nonsensical.
In this series, photographer Carine Thevenau asks our future people about their experience in the world during a time of significant disruption and uncertainty.
Open Air Exhibition
7 August-17 September
Open Monday - Sunday 9 - 5pm
