An evening with
JAMES MORRIS 

Artist talk and Q&A 

Step Behind the Veil: A Conversation with James Morris 

Join us for an intimate Artist Talk with photographer and filmmaker James Morris (he/him) as he unpacks the process, emotion, and intention behind his striking contribution to Silent Veil, a curated exhibition exploring themes of concealment, transformation, and abstraction.  

Based on unceded Naarm land, James’ work blends boldness with vulnerability, shaped by his Lebanese-Australian heritage, his queer identity, and a deep commitment to inclusion, ethical storytelling, and the power of representation. 

For Silent Veil, James has created a compelling body of work that blurs the boundary between fashion and art. This talk offers a rare window into the emotional and technical process behind his images, as well as the personal storylines that informed his creative choices. 

Whether you're an artist, image-maker, or simply someone who values art with creativity and heart, this is a chance to connect with one of Naarm's most thoughtful emerging voices in visual culture.
