A Window Into Humanity: World Press Photo Exhibition Opens This Month In Auckland
Presenting the 2025 World Press Photo Contest winning photographs, the exhibition will display a selection of powerful images by 42 international photographers. It offers a rare opportunity to step away from our screens and engage with the stories behind the headlines.
2025 marks 70 years of World Press Photo. To celebrate, this year will also include a special anniversary exhibition in addition to the 2025 contest winning photographs. Curated by Cristina de Middel and titled What Have We Done? Unpacking Seven Decades of Photojournalism Through the World Press Photo Archive, the exhibition will feature images pulled from the World Press Photo archives. It invites audiences to rethink not just how photojournalism has evolved but how we, as viewers and citizens, should be learning to read images with a sharper and more critical eye.
A media preview of the exhibition will be held on Friday 25 July between 2 – 4pm, with Nelson-based 2025 World Press Photo Contest winning photographer Tatsiana Chypsana, and travelling curator Martha Echevarria available for interview. If you wish to attend, please contact ali@elephantpublicity.co.nz
An exclusive public preview and panel discussion is available on Thursday 24 July, 6pm. Tickets are available via Eventfinda. Viewers will get to take in the exhibition ahead of the opening, and hear from a World Press Photo curator, judge, and winning photographer, talking about the importance of press freedom and how photography helps tell the stories the world needs to hear. In addition, you'll get an exclusive look at additional images from photographer Tatsiana Chypsanava's long term project Te Uruwera – The Living Ancestor of Tūhoe People, which are not in the main exhibition.
The Rotary Club of Auckland is proud to bring the World Press Photo Exhibition to Auckland, with all proceeds from the event going towards Rotary youth charities and disability charity PHAB.
