Tuatara Open Late

Enjoy a late night at City Gallery Wellington with Tuatara Open Late. The Gallery comes alive with art, music, film, talks with beer, wine, and food to keep you going. Take the time to explore our exhibitions with galleries open until 10pm and experience the changing programme of late-night events.

We are thrilled to be hosting artist Cushla Donaldson for a live performance as well as a screening of her and Quentin Lind's film Neighbourhood of Truth.

Donaldson’s live performances juxtapose storytelling with the traditions of naturalistic horror theatre, subverting colonial narratives to expose the violent reality that underpin them.

Boundaries and journeying are explored in the works of Hendrix Hennessy-Ropiha and Dayle Palfreyman in Tilia. Addressing presence, absence and the encounters between, these two artists have invited others to speak to and extend the ideas and themes of the exhibition through presenting their own practices.

Over the evening the space outside Tilia will be activated with a series of responses by artists Braedyn Togi, Tobias Allen, Holly Walker and Ilish Thomas.
