Salt: Bearing Witness by Jodie Harris
Jodie Harris is a Yamatji Wadjari photographer and visual storyteller. Working across social documentary and contemporary photographic practice, her work explores lived experience, personal narrative and the social conditions that shape identity. Through portraiture and long-form storytelling, Jodie creates work that engages with advocacy, resilience and underrepresented voices.
Salt: Bearing Witness is a contemporary photographic installation that highlights the role storytelling and creativity can play in challenging societal norms, while contributing to personal and collective healing. The exhibition addresses the long-term mental health impacts of gender-based violence through a combination of photographic works, installation, and public engagement.
Jodie has a unique ability to evoke deep feeling, memory and thought through her photography. Combined with the installation components, community engagement aspects and complex subject matter of this show, we are anticipating a very moving experience for all who take it in.
