Earth Emotions Photography Exhibition at The Refinery
The Earth Emotions Exhibition opened online on Earth Day 22 April 2022 at theexhibit.io with five virtual galleries.
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.
Be patient, the online galleries at theexhibit.io can take a few moments to load and make sure you read the captions accompanying each image. Click on More Details to view the image along with its caption.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
