Speaking in Black & White explores the resilience of Northcote, an Auckland community shaped by change yet bound by connection. Captured in black-and-white film, this documentary series reveals everyday moments—faces, streets, and shared spaces—where history and future intersect. Through shifting landscapes and enduring relationships, the images reflect the essence of "tautinei"—sustaining identity, culture, and belonging.

In a world of constant transformation, these photographs invite us to witness what remains, what evolves, and what it means to hold onto the threads of community.
