This workshop is free to all participants with koha accepted upon entry. Please be sure to register so we can account for numbers.
This workshop is held alongside concre[ā]te, an exhibition that showcases large-scale mixed-media artwork crafted by the artist duo 2PARU, made up of Tui Kayoko Hirabayashi and Marie Hemo Titi Mapa. Both artists draw inspiration from the ever-evolving cityscape of Tāmaki Makaurau and its seemingly ever-present civic construction.
They embody a multifaceted approach to artistic expression, through which construction and art becomes hybridised – fusing painting, installation, and sculpture into an exploration of urban narratives.
