Photobook/NZ 2020 - photo report

On the 6th, 7th and 8th of March, the Photobook/NZ 2020 festival was held in Wellington.

Looking back now, when we are all in Covid-19 Alert Level 4 isolation, it seems astonishing that only three weeks ago it seemed perfectly normal to have a gathering of hundreds of people, and presentations by overseas guests.
