Martin Parr’s Small World presented by Milford comes to Napier for FOTOFEST 2026
FOTOFEST 2026 celebrates the enduring legacy of one of photography’s most influential figures, Martin Parr, with a presentation of his landmark series Small World at Creative Arts Napier (CAN).
Known for his colourful, witty photographs of tourists around the world, Parr’s work captures the humour, quirks and shared experiences of travel. Small World is one of his best-loved series and offers a fascinating look at how we explore the world—and ourselves.
FOTOFEST founder Shayne Jeffares says bringing Martin Parr to the festival is an exciting moment.
“It’s incredible to be able to share the work of a photographer of Martin Parr’s calibre with our city and New Zealand. His images are thought-provoking and instantly recognisable, and we’re excited that people will be able to experience the exhibition here in Hawke’s Bay.”
The exhibition is one of more than 60 free exhibitions taking place across Hawke’s Bay during FOTOFEST 2026, celebrating photography in galleries, public spaces and unexpected places throughout the region.
