RESOLUTIONS

The latest Te Huanui Art Gallery exhibition features a display which is described as photographing stories through detail.

The Resolutions photography exhibition by the Christchurch Women’s Photography Collective explores themes such as colour, mood, culture, nostalgia and beauty from the perspectives of six photographers. These complex notions are brought into focus and are resolved, with a quiet determination through the lens. The techniques and motivation of the photographers are individual, however, they are connected through storytelling and the shared experiences of photography.

Some of the group have created work especially for the exhibition, while others are showing work curated over the ‘Covid Years’. Resolutions opens from 6pm Friday, February 24th and runs until Thursday, March 24th, everyone is welcome to attendtheopening.
