Please join us to celebrate the launch of In Search of the Vernacular – A unique, collaborative publication documenting a developing quest to uncover Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich, diverse, evolving and distinct cultural identity.

The genesis of this publication can be found in the Depot Artspace Cultural Icons series, The Cultural Mapping Project and the 2012 Cultural Mapping Project exhibition Sum of the Parts.
