Photosynthesisers: Women and the lens includes
photographs and videos produced since the 1960s
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. This major exhibition comprises
the work of over 40 artists, including: Edith Amituanai,
Minerva Betts, Fiona Clark, Margaret Dawson,
Destiny Deacon, Bonita Ely, Lisa Reihana,
Tracey Moffatt, Salote Tawale, and Marie Shannon.
