After a seven-year hiatus, this evening celebrates the return of A Nice Magazine by photographer Hanna Moon. Join us for a talk with Hanna Moon, writer Moffy Gathorne-Hardy, photographer Rosie Marks and creative director Gem Fletcher as they discuss the female gaze, self-portraiture and humour as methods of expression and vulnerability. Moon takes inspiration from artist Dorethea Tanning and early surrealist artists, bringing together photographers who use the camera as a tool for self-expression.
Women artists. There is no such thing - or person. It's just as much a contradiction in terms as 'man artist' or 'elephant artist'. Dorothea Tanning

Hanna Moon is an artist, photographer and creative interlocutor, born in South Korea, and based in London. Her first critically-acclaimed contribution to fashion culture was the launch of A Nice Magazine, created for her graduation from Central Saint Martins, London, in 2014. Intentionally working with ideas and subjects outside of the conventions of fashion photography, Moon has defined herself as an important voice in the field.
Gem Fletcher is a hybrid creative exploring the intersection of art, photography and fashion. She also hosts the messy truth podcast, a series of candid conversations that unpack the future of visual culture. Gem's writing about art, photography and culture has been published by 1000 Words, AnOther Magazine, Aperture, British Journal of Photography, Creative Review, Dazed, Foam, It’s Nice That & The Guardian. She also collaborates with artists and publishers on photobook texts. Gem has led brand direction and narrative projects for MØRNING, WeTransfer, Accept & Proceed and Moleskine. She was previously photo director at Riposte Magazine.
Moffy Gathorne-Hardy is a Paris-based writer, cultural commentator and music enthusiast from London. She studied Comparative Literature with Russian and Czech at University College London, where she focused on Eastern European literature, specifically the work of Bruno Schulz. She recently completed an MA in History and Literature at Columbia University, where she wrote her thesis on the role of male- and female-coded speech acts in the Beatles' Rubber Soul. She plans to expand this thesis into a book-length work. Her thinking and writing are largely informed by the decade she spent working as a model. Since they met in 2012, she has frequently collaborated with Hanna Moon.
Rosie Marks works within the tradition of British documentary photography. Hailed by Dazed as an artist who 'reconfigures our sense of the ordinary,' Marks’ photographs are still lives of contemporary existence. Marks has previously published three books, ‘08.14-10.19’ in 2020, ‘Pretty Hurts (Pretty Hurts)’ in 2022, and ‘Mount Nelson’ in 2024. Her next book, ‘Raw Talent’ will be published in February 2025.
