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.

Hi! My name is Laura:-)
I homeschool along with my four siblings, and have been making soap for a few years now.
At the moment, I am selling Charcoal + Lavender soap, and Lavender soap. As the document says, the blocks are $4 each, unless they are in a hand-written gift bag, which is $6.
Sometime soon, I will probably make a batch of Lemongrass soap, which would be sold for the same prices.
Here is a little blurb about the benefits of lavender and charcoal:

LAVENDER
Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, allowing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to combat pimples and skin irritation. These properties also make lavender soap useful in treating skin infections, scabies, and eczema.

CHARCOAL
Helps absorb excess oil.
Helps prevent breakouts.
Tightens pores.
Makes skin firmer.
Exfoliates skin.
Brightens complexion.
Exfoliates dry, dead skin that can lead to flakes and dandruff.
Deeply cleans.
