Evoke captured artefacts from Fairfield City Museum and Gallery’s collection, interiors of the Vintage Village and historical locations relevant to the collection. The photographs evoke personal and collective memories from the community, recreating stories and reforming narratives. Images were captured creatively, offering new readings, interpretations and engagements with objects and the site.
