Through the lens of Ans Westra

Dutch-Kiwi photographer Ans Westra has captured on film some of the quintessential images of New Zealand life over her many decades behind the camera. She's remains deeply proud of her Dutch heritage and next weekend she's guest of honour at the opening of Dutch Week, at the multicultural centre Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom, in Foxton as part of the town's annual Big Dutch Day Out. It is housing one of the largest exhibitions of her work seen in the last 20 years. You can also find Ans Westra's photographs of Naenae in the late 1980s at the Dowse in Lower
