Kitinga bashenyi
Lema Shamamba
17 October - 5 December 2026
Kitinga bashenyi is a metaphor from my dialect Hunde that means “When the sun appeared in the evening in the middle of the forest, suddenly it disappeared and then darkness appeared. When women collect firewood for cooking, they gasp, there is no more sunlight when it is time to go back home. They suddenly found that they could not see the road to go home and get confused.”

He kokonga whare e kitea
Ange Oliver
17 October - 5 December 2026
He kokonga whare e kitea, he kokonga ngākau e kore e kitea.
The corners of a house can be seen, but the corners of the heart cannot be seen.
Foregrounding the transformation of thread with uku through the artist’s unique processes, Ange materialises a sensitive expression of whakapapa, interwoven with the natural environment, cosmology and the human experience.
