Direct Bodily Empathy – Sensing Sound explores sound as a medium, and the dimensions of sympathetic resonance, attuning with shared vibration, embodied knowledge, and the physical act of deep listening.
Lalaga: Le Hui Fono is an exhibition and programmes that emerge from an ongoing commitment to deepen relationships of collaboration, mutual support, and reciprocity between Pasifika artists and communities in Taranaki and across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.
Maureen Lander returns to the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery with an extensive exhibition which will include collaborative installations with weavers, children and community members.
