Just because something is not real this does not mean it can’t be truthful. Long before screens were ubiquitous, Wendy McMurdo navigated the border between the physical and the digital and the real and the imagined.

Join the artist and curator and writer, Susan Bright, as they explore McMurdo’s pioneering photography and film, and how her gaze – empathetic, curious, unsettling – captures something essential about how identity is formed in young people through the use of play and technology.
