New Zealand is a small country—remote in its geography but rich in its culture.

From its indigenous Maori to immigrants from all parts of the globe, New Zealand reflects an ethnic tapestry well beyond its small size.

This week in honour of World Refugee Day, an exhibition at the Auckland library gave a glimpse into the faces of immigrants and refugees who have resettled in NZ through a photographer’s lens.

Aine Kelly-Costello—a blind blogger, musician, and immigrant reflects on the exhibition, reminding us how the cultural identity of NZ has changed over the years.
