Photosynthesisers w/ James Gatt: 28th March, 2025

Photosynthesisers: Women and lens is an exhibition currently showing at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery, curated by James Gatt.

The exhibition features photographs and videos by 41 women artists and collectives from Aotearoa and Australia, including fa`afafine, queer, and trans women, and those with ancestral ties to Aboriginal, Māori and diasporic communities.

Produced between the 1960s and 2024 by four generations of artists, exhibited works collectively offer cross-cultural and intergenerational perspectives on the social, political and cultural conditions that informed, prompted or necessitated their capture.
