A Walk Down Johnsonville Road

Sorry, the exhibition 'A Walk Down Johnsonville Road' has finished its 18-month run at Waitohi, from the opening of the Community Hub in December 2019. We only expected the exhibition to remain up until mid-2020, so the extra year has been a bonus. We are looking at options for relocating the photographic exhibition, but in the meantime you can still see all of the photos below.

Photography Aotearoa's first project is an exhibition of photographs at Waitohi - the new Johnsonville Library and Community Hub - that opened on Saturday 14th December, 2019. The exhibition, located in the main hallway upstairs, can be viewed during Waitohi's open hours until mid-March, 2020.

There was a programme of activities around this exhibition:

talks by John B. Turner, and Peter F. Ireland on the photography of John B. Turner, January 2020
a weekend workshop on documentary photography run by John Williams & James Gilberd, February-March, 2020. (Note: the workshop was cancelled as NZ went to Alert Level 3.)

We would like to thank the organisations that provided funding via grants, without which this exhibition would not have been possible:

Wellington City Council and Creative New Zealand
The Johnsonville Charitable Trust
The Trusts Community Foundation.

The small photos on this page link to individual blog pages with larger versions of the photos, notes and additional photos. If you have memories, stories or specific knowledge about the subjects in these photos, we would love you to share it with the community by commenting on the blog pages.
