Sanctuary Stories: An Exhibition

The volunteer Sanctuary Storytellers are a diverse group of writers, photographers, editors and designers who through their creative efforts, tell ZEALANDIA’s stories to the world. The photo-essays in this exhibition highlight the breadth of their talents and interests, with a focus on experiencing our precious taonga. Featuring the birds, reptiles and flowers of ZEALANDIA, this year’s exhibition shows you what our photographers and writers love most about the valley.

Curated by photo-artist and volunteer Storyteller convener, Judi Lapsley Miller, this group exhibition features photography by Janice McKenna, Hayley May, Linton Miller, Brendon Doran, Lynn Freeman, Chris Gee, and Andrew Hawke with stories by Louise Slocombe, Vanya Bootham, Chris Gee, and Lynn Freeman. The volunteer Storyteller team produced the entire exhibition from concept through to framing.

Look for the Storytellers’ work on the ZEALANDIA blog, and social media feeds, and be sure to buy their 2019 fundraising calendar and postcards. Some of the photographers and artists also have prints available in the gift shop.
