Out of the darkness

Join us in exploring a poignant photography exhibition that highlights the spirit of local rangatahi in Tairāwhiti Gisborne. Witness how severe weather events have shaped the lives of our youth, showcasing their resilience and passion.

An Exhibition of Youth Perspectives on Tairāwhiti in a Changing Climate

This exhibition amplifies the voices of rangatahi through the lens of sport. The unique juxtaposition of powerful images of young people in the places they love, accompanied by text from in-depth interviews, prompts new perspectives on the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle and repeated weather events on local youth.

A collaboration between local photographer Josie McClutchie and award-winning sociologist, Professor Holly Thorpe (Waikato University), the exhibition creates a dynamic space to learn from, and be moved by, rangatahi knowledge and experiences of climate change.
