Picturing Democracy
By Ross Coulter
23 February to 15 May 2026
In Picturing Democracy, Coulter explores and poetically creates representations of democracy, democratic processes, community participation, and connections across the City of Port Phillip.
Drawing from 4,000 photographs held within the Port Phillip City Collection, and in addition to creating his own photographs, artist and curator Ross Coulter re-imagines what democracy looks like, from the past and into the future.
