Māori photographer John Miller won the 2003 Media Peace Prize Lifetime Award for his promotion of peace through his work. He describes himself as a “sympathetic observer”, but the power of his images indicates a reflective yet acute study of civil rights issues, particularly apartheid, as well as anti-nuclear and Māori demonstrations. John Miller: Tour Scrums brings together his black-and-white photographs of anti-apartheid protests in 1970s Wellington and the 2007 Tour Scrums: Protesting Black and Blue project, twin-screen colour work documenting the 1981 Springbok rugby tour conflicts in New Zealand.
