4-26 may 2019
Photival is the not-for-profit, Wellington documentary photography festival focusing on social, economic and environmental issues. Our aim is to show people thought provoking and inspiring photographic work and then give them the tools they need to engage with positive change.
2019 theme - influence
What are we, our communities and the earth influenced by? How do we influence one another - and how does artistic influence render new results? With a focus on local photographers we'll share some of the best documentary photography in New Zealand.
