Visible Women at 60

This exhibition gently pulls back the curtain and allows a glimpse into the personal experience of being 60 in today’s world. The show features 60 portraits of New Zealand women who were 60 in the year their photograph was taken. Photographer, Jenny O’Connor wanted to capture the women in their entirety – convey their intellect, their physicality, their personalities and what is important to them at this time of their lives.

The women have written their own words for their photo. They were simply asked to write whatever they wished to say. Through the photographs and words you may feel a sense of connection, be moved, surprised, curious, perhaps challenged or simply enjoy the images of these gorgeous women.
