Moments of Transition: The photographs of Grace Robertson
Co-Curator
With Helen Trompeteler, developed and curated exhibition dedicated to the works and life of Grace Robertson (1930-2021). The online exhibition considered Robertson’s career in the context of Post-War Britain, and focused on four notable stories produced during her time with Picture Post. Exhibition can be accessed here.
Alongside the exhibition, two talks were presented engaging with Robertson’s career with Picture Post and her contemporary legacy.
Part of the 2021 Photo Oxford Festival, Women in Photography: Ways of Seeing and Being Seen
Presented by the curator of the Getty Images Hulton Archive, Melanie Llewellyn will also be sharing details on a new edit of Robertson’s unpublished material, as part of a project expanding the representation of Picture Post’s female photographers.
In this talk, Carrucci will discuss different bodies of work, including editorial projects created in collaboration with magazines. Her talk will focus on her most recent book Midlife – a vivid chronicle of the passage through aging, family, illness, and intimacy. This period of life is universal to everyone, yet this narrative — in all its nuance — is strikingly absent from our cultural dialogue. Midlife invites us to witness and reflect on the experiences we all share contending with the challenges of life, love, and change.
