20 local artists have responded to themes of uniting and the multicultural experience with a feast of works. From escaping concrete jungles or oppressive political regimes to a call for climate activism, artists have sought a more authentically inclusive path forward, one that listens to everyone’s voice. One artistic family has created a work involving the 9 and the 76 year old, as well as everyone inbetween.
Some artists have longed for the frozen peaks and the northern lights of their homeland or have mourned the destruction in war-torn homelands, but here they’ve created new bridges and have even found us unified by the stuff inside our pantries!
Artists include: The Batchelor family, Lisa Powers, Nachiko Takahashi, Jane Barry, Veronica Ek, Andrew Kendrick, Jo Seizova, Catherine Coster, Daniel Newnham, Judith Billig, Jenny Zhao, Tracey Osbourne, Suzanne McDonnell, Deborah Mullen, Jamie Louttit, Donna Allfrey, Marisa Cappetta, Annthalina Gibson, Lauren Carmichael and Sarah Brown.
Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Monday 29 January 2024, all welcome.
Location: Eastside Gallery, 388 Worcester St, Christchurch, free parking onsite.
