This exhibition brings together the artwork of Gordon Bennett and Emily Karaka, two senior painters from Australia and Aotearoa. Their artworks draw on narratives of place, colonisation, popular culture, and Indigenous world views to explore ideas of struggle and belonging. Both painters express the important role artists play in society by helping audiences see complex issues and encourage change. Through their unique painting styles these artists question our histories and invite us to imagine our futures.
This exhibition is presented in association with Te Ahurei Toi o Tamaki Auckland Arts Festival and with the support of Wesfarmers.
