Approaching Home

The over-arching project Approaching Home is collaboratively produced by the artists’ relationship as female artist-friends from different generations who are connected across the world by a shared settler colonial history. The exhibition at Aratoi Art Gallery & Museum (Masterton, 10 Aug – 27 Oct 2024) and associated residency with Te Whare Hēra (Wellington), are first steps in developing enduring partnerships with individuals and communities in both Aotearoa and Scotland.

  • Google Calendar ICS

Many will have seen Tame Iti and Delaney Davidson’s national billboard campaign, proclaiming, “I will not speak Māori”. The refrain featured within this body of work co-opts the written lines Iti was forced to repeat on the blackboard as punishment for speaking te reo Māori at school. In this new iteration, Iti and Davidson repurpose this polemic slogan once again transforming it into a prompt for reflection and dialogue.

Soraya Rhofir - Rough Rough

Rough Rough, an exhibition of new works by Soraya Rhofir.

Rhofir borrows from Aotearoa/New Zealand’s everyday culture to produce work that she describes as “…an ensemble, a palette constructed as a collage, each piece opens to a dimension of ‘rough’: its vulnerability, its flexibility, its lightness…the pieces are nomadic, openings to another event, a horizon made of fabric, foam and wire”.
