This unique 'Behind the Lens' dinner will include an ‘in conversation’ with Henson and take place amongst rare vintage prints from the 1960s through to the early 1980s, a period that defined art photography in Australia. Hear Bill Henson’s experiences from his time at Prahran College in the mid-1970s, and insights into his first solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1975, when he was 19 years old.
