A Field Guide for… is an ongoing publication series commissioned by Perth Festival to accompany its annual Visual Arts Program. Conceived as portable companions rather than traditional exhibition catalogues, the publications bring together newly commissioned essays, artist projects and photography within a considered editorial framework that extends the experience of the festival beyond the gallery.

A Field Guide for Sunbathing, 2024. Responding to the festival’s thematic of Ngaangk (a Noongar word meaning both ‘sun’ and 'mother'), the publication features original writing by Timmah Ball, and curator/writer Kelly Fliedner, photographic essay A Quick Dip by artist Duncan Wright, captured across Perth beaches. Cover artwork is taken from Wright's work, A Quick Dip.
