This exhibition documents the journey one takes when settling in Aotearoa from elsewhere, away from the notion of home and in search of belonging.

What began as a collection of portraits recording individual migrant journeys, A Migrant’s Path, has evolved into a fictional series, No. 13. Together these photographs provide a candid depiction of migration stories, colourism, mental health, and cultural identity.

Developed in partnership by: New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata and Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and Heritage
