The Nelson Hancock Gallery is proud to be hosting an exhibition of photography and video by Robert Gardner taken from the new book, The Impulse to Preserve, Reflections of a Filmmaker. Gardner has spent a lifetime spent probing human experience in a
number of the world's most remote corners. In NeolithicWest Papua in 1961, it was ritual warfare and revenge, in Nigeria 1965, ritual pain, in Ethiopia in the late sixties, male
supremacy, in Niger 1978, envy and in Benares India, mortality and its expression in worship.
