Peter Black, Woman with Lizard, 1984.

This exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of photography education at Massey University, celebrating the legacy and ongoing relevance of analogue photography. Bringing together over 80 works by alumni, staff, and contemporary artists who engage with analogue processes, the exhibition highlights the continued potential of physical photographic practice in a digital world. Through film-based photography, alternative processes, and handmade printing techniques, the exhibition considers how the material and tactile qualities of analogue photography offer resistance to the speed, uniformity, and disposability of digital image culture.
