Mark your calendars for a high-energy night of creativity when the Gallery comes alive after dark.
To celebrate the exhibition Forever Tomorrow: Chinese Art Now, we’re hosting an unmissable evening spotlighting local collaborators responding to the show through poetry, movement, music and more.
Be there for powerful readings from poets Jiaqiao Liu and Zephyr Zhang, offering poetic reflections on Forever Tomorrow, and experience contemporary dance artist Xin Ji and painter Tony Guo’s specially curated dance performance.
The night keeps building with live music from Ersha Island 二沙岛 and Raging Flowers, while DJ EDYONTHEBEAT sets the soundtrack while you sip a drink and feast on dumplings from much‑loved Sumthin Dumplin and steamed buns (yes, even chocolate ones!) from our friends at Lucky Mate.
Alongside the performances, dive into a full programme of making activities, artist talks and surprises throughout the Gallery.
Keep an eye on Auckland Art Gallery's website for performance times and further updates.
