Long Overdue is Castlemaine Library’s homage to the extraordinary collection from the local photographic studio of A. Verey & Co. (1883–1954). Contemporary works by local photographers will be paired with Verey originals in the form of ‘transparencies’ on the library’s windows, echoing the old glass-plate format. Long Overdue will be visible both inside and outside the library, by day and by night. Running concurrently with the exhibition will be a digital slideshow of Verey images, and photography and writing workshops for all ages.

Participants will use images from the Verey collection of historical local photographs as inspiration to write their own poetry potraits. These pieces, generated by a number of poem-making techniques, will be displayed as ‘transparencies’ on the Castlemaine Library windows during the CSF alongside the the photos that inspired them.
