Join artist in residence Linda Lee for a kōrero and Q + A session about her journey as an artist, a misfit, a wanderer, a teacher, a producer - the shifts that sweep you in new directions… the twists and turns that shape pathways, the successes and the mess ups. This will be an informal and intimate space for sharing between other artists.

Join artist Holli McEntegart for a kōrero about creating at the intersection of art and motherhood and the fluidity that’s required to maintain your creative identity whilst raising a family. She will discuss her transition from artist to mother-artist and her ongoing work, Inhabit; a social practice project making the lived experience of mother/parenthood visible through art, installation and community care.
