PhotoForum has been promoting photography as a means of communication and expression in New Zealand since 1974. I was appointed director of PhotoForum in 2012, and, with Nina Seja, co-curated this survey exhibition now showing at the Gus Fisher Gallery in Auckland until 28 June.

Photographer Ans Westra, PhotoForum founder John B. Turner, and publisher Haru Sameshima discuss a proof of the book PhotoForum at 40 by Nina Seja, which will be launched at the gallery on 28 June.
