Faces of children from around the globe greet visitors to this year’s Ahuroa School Photography Club exhibition at Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa.
Not only are children the subject of the photos, but all the images were taken by children from schools throughout NZ as well as Singapore, America, Pakistan and Mexico.
A total of 1000 images, taken by 250 photographers from 21 schools feature in the exhibition.
The mammoth effort of coordinating the year-long project fell to Ahuroa teacher Theressa Butler, who says the idea was to represent each school community and, when the images are seen together, tell a story.
“The most amazing thing has been the stories behind the stories, which are shared at the exhibition,” Theressa says.
The exhibition is the club’s fourth, and the third as part of the Auckland Festival of Photography fringe programme.
It is on from June 4–28 at Estuary Arts Centre, 214B Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa.
