Past event
Philip Carter Family Auditorium
This week's scheduled Art Bite presentation has been postponed due to unforeseen circustances so we invite you to join us in the auditorium where we will screen the story behind Tīkawe, created by Mata Aho Collective in 2022. Introduced by curator Melanie Oliver.
Art Bites are 30-minute lunchtime presentations on a single work.
There's a new Art Bite to enjoy each Friday, except on public and school holidays.
The previously scheduled Art Bite is now taking place on 19 May and can be viewed here.
