being there

The  exhibition includes photographs from my three books: Where The Home Is, Unruly Memories and the new book  launched by Cushla Parekowhai at the opening of the exhibit on Saturday 1st August, 5pm: Where did you go to my lovelies? This contains photographs not exhibited before from political demonstrations in Christchurch in the 1970s. I follow four friends from those demonstration days into their 70’s daily lives and include recent photographs of them plus interviews. They are: Morrie Love (former commune dweller and Director Waitangi Tribunal 1996-2003), Allie Eagle ( lesbian mother and feminist artist), Tiffany Thornley ( feminist artist), and Dave Mitchell (activist and hippy, now activist and social worker). The exhibition  includes my  photographic montages of the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake.
