Abhi Chinniah: A Migrant's Path


  • New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata Shed 11, 60 Lady Elizabeth Lane Wellington New Zealand (map)

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.
