The exhibition features works in a variety of mediums, by a wide range of artists from both New Zealand and abroad.

Artists: Abbie Twiss, Afuwa Granger, Alex Nagorski, Allyson Hamblett, Anna Nelson, Antonia Luz Ines, Chavah Kinloch, Claudia Recorean, David Feingold, Diane Rimmer, D.J. Grierson, James King, Ingrid Gotlieb, Isla Osboune, Jana Wood, Kathy Ready, Liz Crow, Padma Naidu, Paul Brunton, RewaWalia, Robert Onnes and Ursula Cranmer.

DIVERSITY INQUIRY WORKSHOP

Wednesday 24 August 5.30-7.30pm

Join us for an engaging facilitated conversation about changing fundamentally the way we respond to human diversity. "Diversity Inquiry (DIVINQ)" is an exploratory workshop-like process designed and facilitated by diversity and social change consultant and ex-comedian Philip Patston. He will lead you on a journey of discovery of a fundamental shift in how we define diversity. This new paradigm paves the way to a powerful experience of learning, creative thinking and dynamic reshaping of diversity in any context, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, sexuality and disability. Built into the dialogue are themes of influence, conflict resolution and vital behaviours for individual and social change. The conversation will take place amongst a community art exhibition at Artstation gallery.

Cost: $46.00
