The photographs have been selected and provided by the Taglietti family from their archival material. Tanja Taglietti, Taglietti’s youngest daughter and custodian and curator of the Taglietti Studio Archive, will be present at the event.The exhibition Taglietti: Life in Design is on view until 3 May at Canberra Museum and Gallery.A special guided tour of St Antony’s Parish Church will take place on Friday 20 March at 10:45am (details to follow).SpeakersSilvia MicheliDr Silvia Micheli is an Associate Professor at the University of Queensland and an architect and historian specialising in modern and postmodern architecture.
