Toi Whakaata / Reflections is a new exhibition celebrating Māori sculptor Fred Graham (Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Tainui). It opens at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery on Saturday 8 June.

The exhibition reflects on the artist’s career spanning 70 years, and comes at a significant moment for Graham - now 95 - who is one of the eight artists from Aotearoa who were invited to participate in the prestigious international exhibition at this year’s Venice Biennale.

Beth caught up with the curator of Toi Whakaata / Reflections, Hester Rowan, about the exhibition.

I missed you, Matariki is a new exhibition by Levi Kereama and Whiro Walker at Window Gallery in the University of Auckland General Library. 

The accompanying text reads:

I missed you Matariki.

I needed you yesterday.

There’s been too much mamae.

Too much tangi and too much mate.

Give me a fresh start, a good feast

Give me a glimpse at the ones I’ve lost

and some hope the next season will be a good one

Haere mai, tōku Matariki

I mokemoke au mōu.

Sofia spoke with one of the artists, Levi Kereama, about the kaupapa of the show and his work. 

Sofia had a kōrero with Olivia Coupe who runs Queer AF, a queer centred company hosting events for queer people in Tāmaki Makaurau. They talk about the Queers and Wares Market at Studio One Toi Tū this Saturday 22nd June from 10am-3pm. Whakarongo tonu mai!
