Local women exhibiting at photography festival

Four women photographers from Mahurangi are staging one of the core exhibitions at this year’s Auckland Festival of Photography, which is running until Sunday, June 16.

Barbara Cope of Baddeleys Beach, Karen Williamson from Warkworth and Matakana’s Di Halstead and Lieve Van den Bosch are exhibiting collectively as The Locus Group at Depot Artspace in Clarence Street, Devonport.

Their new show, Torn, explores time, place, memory and identity, with new works integrating each photographer’s style with the festival theme of Fissure, applying it to changing landscapes and personal journeys. Torn runs from 11am to 3pm on Sundays, noon to 4.30pm on Mondays, and 10am to 4.30pm from Tuesday to Saturday. Entry is free.
