Celebrating the life of Te Moeka o Tūawe (Fox Glacier), overlooking New Zealand’s southwest coast.
‘The Last Light Falls Gently’ is an exploration of the glacier’s profound influence on the lives of a community. A collective meditation on change, connection, and acceptance. We invite you to remember humanity’s inherent ties to the land and to each other.
