Into the light
Curated by Charlotte Graham
25 June to 12 July 2008
Opening: 5 to 7pm, Tuesday 24 June 2008
Into the light is a group exhibition featuring artists, Gabrielle Belz, Natalie Couch and Mumuteawha, Charlotte Graham, Raewyn Graham, Ngahina Hohaia, Michelle Lee, Te Rito collective, and Wi Taepa. This exhibition is set at the time of Matariki, The Maori New Year.
Matariki is a time for harvesting, celebration, cycles, a time to honour those who have passed. It is a seed that when given light and water can grow prosperous and full. Into the light is a visual vehicle for growth, nurturing, a lighten beacon of all things that light evokes.
Join the artists on Saturday 28 June, 9am-4pm for an open day. This is an opportunity to meet and speak with artists from Into the light.

Artstation in partnership with the Auckland office of The New Zealand Film Archive, presents Talk Back an exhibition celebrating the skills of Auckland's diverse communities. In this artist project, emerging and established artists recently immigrated to New Zealand have taken the opportunity to present their current art practice and determine their place within the art world.
Alongside the exhibition are professional development workshops and events. These will provide opportunities for the wider immigrant arts community to share their experience and knowledge. They will open up dialogues around the impact of their cultural heritage on their life and art practice. The intention is to create wider networks within a diverse immigrant arts community.
"I like to find parallels and contrasts between cultures, qualities that make us culturally distinct as well as aspects that make us similar...we have a lot to share and a lot to understand about each other." Gia Nghi Phung Talk Back artist.
