Share your selfie on Instagram and become part of the biggest public display in history at the State Library of NSW.
#NewSelfWales is an exciting new project which is turning everyday selfies into an immersive exhibition experience where you’ll be able to find your picture in the library.
State librarian Dr John Vallance said they were asking people from “all corners of the state to get involved, get creative and share their portraits using the hashtag #NewSelfWales.”
“These portraits will feature alongside thousands from the State Library’s collection and from people around NSW, and ultimately become part of history as the Library captures the contemporary face of NSW in 2018,” Dr Vallance said.
#NewSelfWales is one of six free exhibitions to be launched as part of the grand opening of the State Library’s major new galleries, in the newly transformed Mitchell Building, on Saturday October 6.
Selfies taken by the public will join over 3,000 objects handpicked from the Library’s underground stacks to go on display – many for the very first time – across areas of the Mitchell not open to the public before.
