Synonym of Something

25 . 03 - 16 . 04, 2022

Ashleigh Taupaki and Jasmine Tuiā lead the Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Cross-Crits, an educational/artistic initiative. It’s a program that supports and connects Black, Indigenous, People of Colour creatives based in Tāmaki Makaurau. “Crits'' derives from Critique within Art Institutions; a process that invites a group of creatives to present work, share suggestions and gain feedback on their art works and practices from their class peers.

‘Synonym of Something’ is the initiative’s first exhibition to showcase the participating artists of these critique and workshop sessions in Tāmaki Makaurau. The artists involved come from a diverse background of life experiences and art practices.

Curated by Jasmine Tuiā and Ashleigh Taupaki featuring the amazing and talented artists Tai Nimo, Via Tuimaseve, Te Ara Minhinnick, Hugo Primbs, Jeremiah Talo (Gerry), Keaton Hamilton, Llenyd Price, Hulita Koloi, Elise Sadlier & Jessica Kanji.
