Join Danielle Fitzgerald for an intimate artist talk and walk-through of her exhibition Venus 8: Flesh & Foam. This project has been the last four years of her life, a slow, careful documentary journey into the private, liminal and often unseen spaces of dancers and s workers in Western Australia.

During the talk, she’ll guide you through the work and share the ideas that shaped it. Before Danielle ever picked up the camera for this project, she spent months studying the philosophy around visibility, agency, embodiment, and who gets to be represented. Those questions became the backbone of Venus 8 and still influence the way she shoots and tells stories today. She’ll also talk about why she named the series Venus 8, what Flesh & Foam means within the world of the work, and how the project continues to evolve. Danielle will share more about her practice, from building trust and shared authorship with the people she photographs, to navigating censorship, to developing a visual language that honours their lives with care and clarity.

She’ll finish with an open Q&A, so you’re welcome to ask anything about the work, the ethics, the process, or the world behind these images. Danielle would love to see you there and walk you through this chapter of Venus 8 in person.

Viewer discretion: This exhibition includes themes of adult work, nudity and mature subject matter. Recommended for ages 16+
