A new exhibition at Te Uru gallery in Auckland is highlighting women photographers of the past sixty years.
Photosynthesisers: Women and lens is an exhibition of photographs and videos by 41 women artists and collectives from Aotearoa and Australia, including fa`afafine1, 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 impelled their capture.
Curator James Gatt joins Emile Donovan.
