SAME DIFFERENCE

Same Difference:

9 March - 16 June 2013 Photographs by Warwick Smith

This exhibition is based on a highly successful exhibition of the same name that photographer Warwick Smith created in his hometown of Palmerston North.

The exhibition features a series of double portraits of a child aged between 6 and 12 together with that child's great-grandparent of the same gender. Despite a gap of four generations the photographs show a remarkable resemblance.

The exhibition at Pataka features 13 large mural photos depicting people from all over the city and from different ethnic backgrounds including European, Maori, Pacific Islanders and other cultures. The exhibition is a celebration of local families, of longevity and of ethnic diversity.
