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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
