The Long Waves of Our Ocean – Artists’ Talk

Join curator Hanahiva Rose and some of the contributing artists for a tour and kōrero on the works featured in our latest exhibition ‘The long waves of our ocean: New responses to Pacific poems’.

Artists’ talk
In our latest exhibition The long waves of our ocean: New responses to Pacific poems, early-career artists Sione Faletau, Ayesha Green, Turumeke Harrington, Ana Iti, Sione Tuívailala Monū, Ammon Ngakuru and James Tapsell-Kururangi have created new artworks made in response to a selection of poems by Alistair Campbell, Keri Hulme, J. C. Sturm, Hone Tuwhare and Albert Wendt.

These artists and writers address Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa in its varied and shifting roles, engaging with fictions and histories and encouraging us to inhabit new perspectives.

Come along and hear some of these artists speak to their works in a tour with curator Hanahiva Rose.
