INVITATION // OPENING EVENT // PAPAKURA ART GALLERY // SATURDAY 3 MARCH 10:30AM
OPENING EVENT // TWO NEW EXHIBITIONS
Colour of Distance // What’s on Your Plate?
PAPAKURA ART GALLERY
10.30am Saturday March 3
Colour of Distance and What’s on Your Plate are both multidisciplinary collaborative projects that combine exhibition objects, publications and community-based public programmes. The prints, sculptures, photographs and paintings of the five contemporary artists that converge in Colour of Distance explore narratives of memory, place, displacement and kinship. Meanwhile, What’s on your Plate presents a variety of outcomes from a participatory assignment using the idea of a plate as a metaphor for the act of sharing as well as referring to versions of the adage “I have a lot on my plate”.
The exhibitions run from 3 March to 7 April 2012.

reTHiNKWe are working to change the way our community thinks about mental illness / unwellness / distress / being human.
Nearly half the population will have one of these experiences in their life-times. Stigma and discrimination will be among the biggest barriers we face on our journey to recovery.
reTHiNK is here to help you understand that mental unwellness is normal, common and can be recovered from. We are an Auckland provider of the national Like Minds Like Mine programme, funded by the Ministry of Health.
