Picturing former refugees: The Resettlement Portraits

A new photographic exhibition aims to counter misinformation and fear about humanitarian migrants and asylum seekers in Auckland. Social documentary photographer and filmmaker Nando Azevedo talks about The Resettlement Portraits, which is part of the Auckland Festival of Photography. Nando has photographed eighteen families from different parts of the world, representing twelve different cultures. The exhibition grew out of story book Beyond Refuge, for which Gatlauk Chuol interviewed some of the people Nando has taken photographs of. Gatlauk was also one the sitters for Nando's photography.
