Join us this month for Wendy McMurdo: The Digital Mirror at the Portrait Gallery where we will be joined by curator Ben Harman.

Working at the forefront of developments in digital photography, Wendy McMurdo: The Digital Mirror, charts 20 years of ground-breaking work by this pioneering photographer. McMurdo has blazed a trail in the experimental use of computers and digital tools in photography from the early days of computer-based learning in schools to the growth of the internet and networked gaming.

Wendy McMurdo: The Digital Mirror comes at a time when the digital landscape is changing faster than ever before, with technology offering limitless possibilities and scope for imaginative learning. With children spending more and more time online, the exhibition offers a fascinating insight into the impact of technology on learning and play in childhood.
