21 Canterbury artists interpret the theme “pan” for Eastside Gallery’s annual Multicultural Exhibition.
This exhibition is a painterly celebration of Vincent Van Gogh. Christchurch artist Wayne Seyb asks, “how do you represent the unrecognised, the lost, those on the margins?” This exhibition addresses these issues with the colour turned way up high and selected references to the biography of van Gogh.
Opening Event: 5.30-6.45pm Tuesday 13 October 2020

“Aftershocks” commemorates 10 years since the 4 September 2010 earthquake. This group exhibition has been motivated by the kindness of the people of Kyushu Island, Japan, who folded thousands of colourful cranes and strung them together to form senbazuru, which were then gifted to Christchurch in the wake of the earthquakes.
“Aftershocks” will explore love and beauty during the past shaky decade in our city as interpreted by artists including Valerie Campbell, Judy Rogers, Sandra Beltman, Sue Hely, Viv Nixon, Steven Sorer, Rae Manson and others. The senbazuru will be on display and individual cranes will be distributed to visitors to the gallery.
