In partnership with Australia-China Institute for Arts and Culture, Willoughby City Council presents an exhibition of photography by Grace Sui to celebrate Lunar New Year 2020. Street photographer Grace Sui is fascinated by the brilliant natural light of Sydney; its bright sunlight and contrasting strong shadows. Light and shadow become a starting point for her photographic compositions, capturing the everyday life that passes through. Inspired by early morning light whilst jogging, Grace Sui began to savour the memory of this experience through photography. As a routine commuter, she started photographing people around her, on the bus, train or platform, on the way to or from work, one place to another. It gradually became her way of storytelling, witnessed in pictures rather than coded with words.

Exhibition opens: 6–8pm Wednesday 22 January 2020
