Yet alongside her more public projects she has spent more than four decades chronicling thelives of writers. To celebrate Juno Gemes’ appointment as Photographer-in-Residence to the 2009 Sydney Writers’ Festival, the Festival will be presenting an exhibition of projected images from The Literary Life at the Heritage Pier on Thursday 21 May at 1:30-4:30pm.
