Special Invitation
Transplanted: Refugee Portraits of New Zealand
The New Zealand Portrait Gallery Oct 28 – Nov 6th
Please join us for a special viewing and talk on ‘Transplanted: Refugee ‘Portraits of New Zealand’, a ten-day photographic exhibit and curated ‘talking space’ around refugee experience and issues.
These gorgeous two-metre tall portraits are by renowned photographer Alistair Guthrie, former winner of the Brian Blake Memorial Prize. The curator of the project, Tracey Barnett, is a journalist who has reported from refugee camps and detention centres. She will be speaking about her reporting, as well as the dramatically changing new war against asylum—and how it is specifically affecting our own shores. She will also be your personal docent to speak about the narratives around each portrait.
When: Sunday, 11:00am Nov 5th
Where: New Zealand Portrait Gallery, 11 Customhouse Quay, Wellington
