Inside Stories: Selwyn Edition
Description
NameInside Stories: Selwyn Edition
DescriptionInside Stories is a hands-on photography programme facilitated by Heather Milne, for young people in rural and regional Aotearoa. Workshops include information about the processes and ethics of photographing their own stories, community and environment, then tamariki use their new skills with point-and-shoot cameras over a week. The result is a collaborative photography exhibition and archive of photographs for locals, by locals.
In this programme, tamariki have the opportunity to:
• learn more about the art of photography
• tell stories that are important to them through photography
• document changes happening in their community and environment (and learn why this is important)
• create an exhibition in their community
Inside Stories: Selwyn Edition took place from March-May in 2025, with 36 students from Waitaha and Te Rōhutu Whio Schools participating. A combined exhibition of their work was held at Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston at the end of May.Date2025
