Nuclear Free: Protest Photography by Gil Hanly
9 November - 11 May
Pictorial Gallery
An appropriate exhibition to coincide with the Armistice symposium is a selection of images relating to the nuclear free Pacific movement by documentary photographer Gil Hanly. With skill and concern Gil covered the anti-nuclear activities of the 1980s. Gil was witness to many protests, often outside the American Embassy in Auckland or the hazardous efforts of the peace squadrons against the entry of nuclear submarines and warships into New Zealand ports. This social movement for global nuclear disarmament and a nuclear-free Pacific eventually saw the enactment of New Zealand’s nuclear-free legislation and the revision of the ANZUS treaty.
