Ōtautahi's community centred photo spaces
Photosynthesis is a fully-volunteer inclusive non-profit that runs an accessible studio for hire and a photo darkroom in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
We enable and support visual artists with the tools, and spaces they require to create high-quality art, affordably.
Upcoming events
At Photosynthesis, artists can have a sense of belonging with their community, growing confidence and technical skill.
