Kotahitanga: Coming together for effective ecosystem restoration and cultural landscape protection

Speaker: Dr Huhana Smith

Huhana Smith is the senior curator M�ori at Te Papa, as well as a practising artist and active environmentalist. Her passion for eco-restoration led Huhana to write her PhD on the subject. She spends much of her free time at weekends clearing and planting her local wetland, a project that started after she and fellow iwi members, (she is of Ng�ti Tukorehe, Ng�ti Raukawa descent), set up a trust to protect and maintain the local waterways.

'Paintings from the human archive' - new paintings by Kirsty Porter.

Painted from photographs from her past, Kirsty examines the nature of memory - does she remember the event or does she remember the photograph? A crystalline ooze appears in throughout the paintings, drawing our attention to the potent life force of each scenario.

April 24 - May 11,
Events Central, Ground Floor.
