Only three more days left of Roll Call 2.0 so we thought we’d share the behind the scenes shots of how it came together.

Between now and then are dozens of hours of coordinating, planning, shopping, designing, editing, promoting, hanging — all the things that wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our creative whanau so thank you all for bringing this exhibition to life!

Come see the fruits of our labour before September 27th at 123 Victoria Street 🍋

This year’s exhibition explores the idea of documentation, influence, and cultural memory within urban art practices.

From concept sketches and zines to Instagram posts and WIP videos, urban art has always existed beyond the final work itself, so we invite you to see how this theme is interpreted within the local cultural framework.

Watch This Space presents a free interactive kōrero for artists, makers, producers and anyone putting creative work into public space, whether murals, sculptures, projections or installations.

Multidisciplinary creative Juanita Hepi (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngātiwai, Ngāpuhi) leads a practical session on working meaningfully with mana whenua, tangata whenua and Ngā Toi Māori under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

What does it mean to make work on someone else’s whenua? How do we build relationships rather than tick boxes? Who holds authority over stories, symbols and place? And what happens when we get it wrong?

Joining us via video are Tāmaki Makaurau artists (and recent Art New Zealand cover stars) Charles & Janine Williams who will reflect on their unique experiences as Māori artists exploring a range of projects in public spaces.

Come with questions. Leave with better ones, and some practical ways forward!

📅 Wednesday, September 9th, 6-8pm
📍 Toi Auaha, 5 Worcester Blvd
