A Seat at the Table, 19 - 28 October 2023

Presented by Fiona Menzies, curated by Rosie Dawson-Hewes

Many of life’s most important and memorable conversations happen at dinner tables all across the motu. But what happens when not everyone gets an invitation?

Presented by Fiona Menzies and curated by Rosie Dawson-Hewes, A Seat at the Table attempts to rebalance the voices being heard, because, let’s be real for a minute – historically, there haven’t been many seats offered to diverse points of view or artforms.

The extravagant, immersive dining room which awaits you is set with works by Turumeke Harrington, Tracy Keith, Elliot Mason, Victoria McIntosh, Devyn Ormsby, Denise Porter-Howland, Tessa Russell, Hollie Ryan, and Nephi Tupaea. A veritable smorgasbord of delectable treats, with something for all palates – from whimsical to meaningful.

Come and taste a balanced contemporary art diet. Everyone’s welcome at this dinner party!
