Carved Up
CARVED UP: Exhibition & Workshop Series
Join us for CARVED UP, A group exhibition in Stone and Bone with a photographic component.
The show offers reflections on the current and historical disconnect in Aotearoa NZ within the land and its people. We look at the spaces between: the things that hold us together, those that keep us apart, what has been taken away, and what remains. This is an invitation to navigate this space together and reconnect.
Featuring works by artists Dave Taylor, Olivia Mitten,
Estevez Gillespie, Marino Duke, and Marlon E. Ortiz.
