Publisher Sophie Willison from Terra Firma Magazine hosts a workshop where participants collaborate on a digital time capsule of 2026.
A mini photo studio is set up in Shivers Gallery, where participants are invited to bring and photograph a precious or important object.
The photographs will feature in zines, a digital archive and a future retrospective edition of Terra Firma Magazine, resulting in a body of work that speaks to memory, time and identity at a unique point in history.
This event coincides with the official launch of Shivers Gallery Bookshop – a permanent collection of hand-printed and independently published photobooks and art books from a diverse range of publishers and artists, with a special focus on creators from Central and Eastern Europe.

Sophie Willison is a Sydney-based photographer and independent publisher working across photography, moving image and printed matter.
Her practice explores queer identity, intimacy and the relationship between people and place, often through portraiture and collaborative storytelling. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan.
She is the founder and editor-in-chief of Terra Firma Magazine, an independent art and photography publication established in 2016 that has featured the work of more than 250 artists.

Alongside her publishing practice, she has designed and facilitated workshops internationally in London, France and Sydney, working with artists, students and community groups to explore photography, publishing and creative practice.
Her work moves between exhibition, publication and participatory formats, reflecting an ongoing interest in how images circulate, connect people and create spaces for shared narratives.
