Agents of Empire: How E.L. Mitchell\u2019s photographs shaped Australia<\/h5>\n

For nearly 100 years, E.L. Mitchell\u2019s emblematic photographs have shaped ideas about Australia.<\/p>\n

But who was Mitchell and why did he succeed above his competitors?<\/p>\n

With unprecedented access to private collections and showcasing his extraordinary photographs, Agents of Empire<\/em> charts Mitchell\u2019s rise from his struggles as a migrant in New South Wales and Queensland to significant image-maker in Western Australia. It then follows the journeys of individual photographs across the world, and traces the stories behind the survival and destruction of parts of his archive.<\/p>\n

Agents of Empire<\/em> breaks new ground in showing ways that photographs can be used as historical evidence and how archives can shape our understanding of the past.<\/p>\n
