We're excited to announce that selection of images from the full exhibition will be shown at The Refinery ArtSpace from 1 - 19 Nov 2022.
A video version of the exhibition is playing on a digital screen at the Elma Turner Pop-up Library from 20 Sept to 31 Oct and at the Nelson City Council from 31 Oct to 23 Dec (in the display window on Halifax St).
Earth Emotions is a photography exhibition from our special place, Te Tau Ihu, the top of New Zealand’s South Island. We share personal experiences of the crises in Earth's climate, biodiversity, soils, atmosphere, waters and forests. We're the first generations to feel the impact of these, and maybe the last who can do something about them. While that might feel overwhelming, it's our portal to a brighter future.
The five Earth Emotions galleries feature over 100 photographs by 47 photographers, an amazing response from people from all over the region. You can view the full exhibit online at theexhibit.io using the links to each gallery, or a video version of the exhibition on the NTCF YouTube Channel HERE.
In the Insight Gallery we share personal moments of clarity and understanding about the planetary crises.
In the Positive Emotions Gallery we honour our connections with Papatūānuku, Mother Earth, and share our feelings of excitement, curiosity, awe, empathy, gratitude, joy, love and hope.
In the Difficult Emotions Gallery we expose feelings of fear, shock, frustration, confusion, frustration and helplessness.
In the Response Gallery we explore attitudes and actions for meeting the planetary crises.
In the Visions Gallery we imagine the future.

Tasman District Council’s local elections (held every three years) are fast approaching. Nominations closed on August 12th and Election Day takes place on OCTOBER 8th.
The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and Tasman Environmental Trust are hosting a series of zoom sessions where we will be inviting both mayoral and council electoral candidates from each Tasman ward to answer questions about the role they intend to play in elevating the climate conversation and advocating for climate conscious policies.
The recent weather events have brought home how important it is to have representatives. at the local government level who understand the causes of climate change, and its effects. Drawing on a set of pre prepared questions elicited from The Forum, our moderator will challenge each of the candidates on their climate credentials and aspirations.
Our hope is that these sessions will give voters a useful overview of their options while highlighting to the candidates that there is a public expectation that climate change should be at the forefront of their thinking and their actions.
If you are interested in climate change mitigation at the local Governance level, and want to hear from the candidates on this subject, this event is for you.
