Join us for an artist talk with Yuki Kihara on Saturday 5 July from 2–3pm, as she discusses her powerful new body of work, Tala o le tau: Stories from the weather featured in In that stone, in that cyclone, in that leaf at Gow Langsford Auckland City.
This recent series features major large-scale embroideries on pandanus mats created in collaboration with the Moata'a Aualuma Community, a women's group from the village of Moata'a in Sāmoa. The works document the devastating impacts of tropical cyclones on the Sāmoan archipelago over the past two decades, using infrared satellite imagery as a starting point to map the movements and temperatures of these storms.
This is a special opportunity to hear from one of the Pacific’s most internationally recognised artists, whose work challenges and re-centres dominant narratives of place, identity, and survival.
RSVP to confirm your attendance here.
