NGAHUIA HARRISON, KAHU WHO IS NAMED BY HIS GRANDFATHER, 2017. INKJET PHOTOGRAPH. COLLECTION OF THE DOWSE ART MUSEUM, PURCHASED, 2017
This exhibition brings together a selection of photographs collected by The Dowse since the 1980s, to consider how representation in Aotearoa New Zealand is evolving alongside changes in our society.
Ways of Being includes the work of six photographers who have used relationship building, collaboration and self-determination to delve deeper into peoples’ lives and highlight diverse cultural and social perspectives. Each artist places importance on taking time to gain the trust of the people represented in their images (physically and symbolically), so their stories can be shared.
