Jocelyn Carlin
Jocelyn Carlin is a New Zealand born photographer who has worked internationally on documentary and art projects since the early eighties. It wasn’t until the Fiji coup of May 2000 that she first ventured into the Pacific and after that a major commission by a London based aid organisation, CWM, led her to study issues and concerns of the people and environment of other Pacific Island nations Nauru, Kiribati, American Samoa, Samoa, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands and PNG. Carlin continues working as a freelance independent journalist represented by Panos London and plans to publish her work on the Pacific having published previously Mana Wahine, Maori Women who Show the Way and Beach, New Zealand.
She has been involved in many other book projects and group and solo exhibitions, including Legacy Tuvalu: The Footprint on Funafuti, at the Custom House Gallery, University of Queensland in May 2006, and most recently The Global Metaphor, a study of how cultures and humanity represents itself.
Carlin recently returned to Tuvalu, Fiji, Kiribati and Australia specifically to work on climate change issues from which she will participate in Climatology, a group exhibition with Panos Pictures where she will represent the Pacific in the telling of 12 climate stories from around the world.
