Toi Pōneke is excited to present Koru meets Tartan by Toi Pōneke Art Centre’s 2024 Visual Arts Residency recipient Mitchell Manual, opening on Saturday 21st March 2026.
Join Mitchell Manuel as he discusses with Te Awanui Reeder, the works in his exhibition Tartan Meets Koru. Mitchell will discuss the themes of design, pattern and digitisation and how this relates to both Scottish Tartan and the koru design found in Te Ao Māori. Te Awanui will talk about how AI will impact art in the future, including music applications, analysis and in some simple steps, how to avoid IP issues.
Join us to hear a work-in-progress reading from Andi C. Buchanan. Andi will be reading extracts from their draft Young Adult novel, Poison, which explores interdependence, community, and our expectations of self-reliance, and is filled with plants both poisoned and poisonous. Please note: This reading will be NZSL interpreted.
Daniel Beban and Tim Barlow's immersive, interactive sound installation fills the environment of Toi Pōneke gallery for the final exhibition at the Able-Smith Street space.
Co-creators of the 'Shadow Signals' exhibition, Daniel Beban and Tim Barlow will activate the installation in a duo performance, followed by an artist talk discussing the exhibition and other works.
