A leading figure in the documentary tradition, Gil Hanly (b.1934) has amassed a significant body of photographs that survey touchstone events in Aotearoa’s recent history, including protest movements confronting the injustices of Apartheid, supporting anti-nuclear and women's rights movements, and those advocating for the unceded sovereignty for Māori.

Yet, a quick survey of her archives also reveals a tendency to focus on what might be termed undocumented communities. In these photographs, Hanly developed a singular body of photographs exploring easily overlooked experiences of the working class, the unemployed, and the disenfranchised. Well away from the spotlight, it is through these tender works that we witness Hanly's singular vision, her determination to capture life here in Aotearoa, her keen sense of justice — an unwavering and honest lens.

Undocumented is a focused exhibition that provides a rare glimpse into the archives of this important photographer.
