Photosynthesisers: Women and the lens includes photographs and videos produced since the 1970s by women artists living in Aotearoa and Australia. As the title suggests, the exhibition is centred on the specific, transformative relationship between women and lens-based media, identifying an enduring, intergenerational regional history via the photographs and videos of artists from Aotearoa, Australia and Moana Oceania. Spanning documentary, diaristic and speculative modes, exhibited works address a wide range of issues including identity, care, trauma, reality and politics.
