Through the Eye of Tāmaki Makaurau
Ka tairangatia e te kaipūtaiao, e te kaiwhakangungu, e te ringatoi anō he whakaahua whakahihiko i te mahara, otirā, he huatau nō te rangatahi, i tēnei mahinga ngātahi ka aro ki ngā panonitanga āhuarangi mā te arotahi o te kāmera taiohi.
Kua pōhiritia e Te Ahurei Toi me Track Zero – Arts Inspiring Climate Action ētahi taitamariki huri noa i Tāmaki Makaurau, kia tuari i ō rātou whakaaro ki ngā panonitanga āhuarangi mā roto mai i tētahi whakaaturanga whakaahua ā-rōpū.

Kua takohatia he kāmera matihiko ki te hunga whai wāhi, hei whakaohooho i te whakaaro auaha. Kua wātea rātou ki te wānanga i ngā take taiao ki te kaipūtaiao āhuarangi taiea, ki a Ahorangi Tim Naish; ki te ruku ki te mātauranga Māori me te kaiwhakangungu/ringatoi, me Tākuta Natalie Robertson; ā, kua whai wāhi hoki ki ngā pou whakaruruhau, ki ngā kaikapo whakaahua ngaio anō, ki a Raymond Sagapolutele rāua ko Cherrilee Fuller. Ka whakaatuhia ā rātou mahinga toi nō tātou ka ākina kia whāia ai he āpōpō manawaroa e tukuwaro-kore ana, hei whakaoti ake i tēnei kaupapa.
Thought-provoking images and ideas by rangatahi are uplifted by scientists, educators and artists in this collaboration addressing climate change through the camera lens of our youth.
The Festival in partnership with Track Zero – Arts Inspiring Climate Action has invited young people across Tāmaki Makaurau to share their views on climate change through a group photography exhibition.
Participants have been gifted digital cameras to spark their creative vision, alongside the opportunity to workshop environmental issues with leading climate scientist Professor Tim Naish; dive into mātauranga Māori with artist/ educator Dr Natalie Robertson; and receive mentorship from professional photographers Raymond Sagapolutele and Cherrilee Fuller. An exhibition of their art and a call to action towards a resilient, carbon neutral future will round out this memorable experience.
