The Water Sustains Us developed out of a collaborative project between photography students from Whitecliffe College in Auckland and Nottingham College in the UK.
Structured as a long-form, long-distance collaborative workshop, this project has offered students from both Colleges the opportunity to test the reception and impact of their work through exposure to an audience far removed from the cultural context that they are used to. This means they need to question all their assumptions about how their work may be read, and also encourages them to look for connections and dialogue, in a truly global sense, through images.
