Local artists have collaborated in a unique exhibition using new media to explore the effects of climate change.
A new exhibition at the Tūhura Otago Museum, "Honohono", opened to the public on Saturday.
The exhibit is a collaborative show from about nine artists focused on the costs of climate change in New Zealand.
"There’s someone who’s a dancer, I’m a photographer, there’s another photographer, and a variety of other art-making methods.
"We’ve all come into this and understood that it’s about experimentation, and learning how to use new media as a way to talk about things that are important to us."
Ms Walmsley completed her master’s degree in visual arts at the Dunedin School of Art in 2019 before moving to Christchurch.
She jumped at the opportunity to be involved in the project as it aligned with her "general artistic ideas".
"I think that [it] is ... timely ... to be talking about this kind of stuff, but it’s not done in such a way where people are going to walk away from the show depressed.
"It very much is a celebration, but a warning depending on which piece you’re looking at."
The exhibit had a focus on indigenous frameworks and included a variety of different media such as films, sculptures, writing, projections and the use of augmented reality.
"There is a little bit of something for everybody - but they should come and experience the exhibition for themselves, because they might be surprised by what they take away from it."
The exhibit is free and runs until March 8.
