Photosynthesisers: Women and the lens includes photographs and videos produced since the 1960s by women artists living in Aotearoa and Australia. The exhibition includes work by 40 artists including Edith Amituanai, Minerva Betts, Lauren Brincat, Fiona Clark, Margaret Dawson, Destiny Deacon, Bonita Ely, Helen Grace, Tracey Moffatt, Fiona Pardington, Lisa Reihana, Marie Shannon, and Salote Tawale, among others.
