AND

Marti Friedlander's memoir Self-Portrait has been inspiring people around the country, at festivals and in the media. Hear Marti talking with Radio NZ National’s Chris Laidlaw here and NewstalkZB’s Andrew Dickens here.

‘The book is, in a way, the story of a woman who invented herself out of what was to hand. Later, she set about inventing New Zealand, or a version of it that remains resonant into a new century.’ – Diana Wichtel, NZ Listener

‘What makes the book come alive is her distinctive voice which has all the qualities of her photographs – simple, assured and focused on an idea as much as the subject.’ – John Daly-Peoples, NBR

We share a selection of her Self-Portrait photographs, from a Springbok Tour protest on Karangahape Road, to portraits of Karl Stead and Maurice Gee. Read on here.
