A Māori and Pacific owned and led gallery on Symonds Street in Eden Terrace, showing work by artists from around Aotearoa. The gallery's own description calls it a place to see work made here in Tāmaki Makaurau, and its current programme includes the shows described on its site. One is a celestial collection by Hong Kong born multimedia artist Philip Tse, titled Let Me Play Among the Stars and curated by Kim Meredith. It brings together photography, painting and film. Another is a set of new paintings by DAM that deal with grief and the sacred connections of a collective. The third is a show by Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Lilo, who builds lei like forms from hand cut vinyl and draws geometric patterns across Apple packaging.
The works combine painting, photography, film and vinyl, which makes it a good stop for anyone who wants to see contemporary Pacific and Māori practice in the city centre, a short walk from the inner city's other galleries and cafés on Symonds Street.
