The Art Gallery of Ballarat presents World Press Photo juror Nicky Catley in conversation at Ballarat Mining Exchange.

Nicky Catley unpacks a perspective that audiences rarely see: how global news images are selected, shaped, and given meaning before they reach the public. This lecture-style talk explores how photo editors and juries influence which stories define our understanding of conflict, climate, protest, and daily life – and what this year's World Press Photo contest winning images tell us about the world. Nicky Catley is a Sydney Morning Herald photo editor and has also worked at Australian Geographic and the UK's Telegraph.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
