Monash Gallery of Art and RMIT University School of Art Photography have collaborated on an exclusive Australian photography video channel, featuring interviews with artists and photographers in the MGA Collection.

MGA is the Australian home of photography, championing Australian photography and inspiring audiences to delve into the powerful medium of photography.

In the mid-1980s MGA decided to focus the collection solely on collecting Australian photographs. Over the following four decades the collection has grown to number more than 3,200 Australian photographs and stands as the only public collection solely dedicated to Australian photography.

The channel extends the MGA Collection into a public domain, providing insights into the works of Australian photographers and artists, ensuring that the MGA Collection is active, conserved and accessible to audiences.

The Photography Discipline at RMIT is as old as the institution itself, offered as one of the foundation subjects in 1887, the year the Working Men's College first opened. For generations RMIT has had a central role in the narrative of photography in Melbourne and Australia, dedicated to the education of photography. The MGA RMIT Photography channel is part of our ongoing commitment to an open dialogue about the power of photography, and its importance in society and culture.
