‘Party In Piha’ Opening function Saturday 12 June, 2021

As part of the Auckland Festival of Photography 2021, Te Uru Gallery in Titirangi hosted an exhibition of photographs by 97-year-old photographer Arne Loot, whose images document the legendary full-moon parties that took place in Piha in the 1950s and 60s. At a time when bars closed at 6pm, young people from across the city dressed up (or down) and found their own fun on the west coast.
