MAGGIE DIAZ – INTO THE LIGHT
A Retrospective
10 March to 24 June 2007

Since her arrival in 1961, American born photographer Maggie Diaz has made an indelible mark on the City of Melbourne. Her work has captured its unique culture and street life - from the emerging and sophisticated commercial world of advertising agencies in the 1960s, to the intense creative activity of grassroots theatre in Carlton in the 1990s. Her experiences of cultural dislocation as a migrant found expression in the exotic world of the Spanish clubs of Fitzroy. Through the use of available light, Diaz has developed a distinct and personal style that has informed her entire career, spanning almost fifty years.

Now in her 80s, Diaz’s remarkable body of work has been brought together for the first time. This is a retrospective exhibition that also celebrates the story and life of this unconventional and passionate artist.
