The Anti-Perfectionism (lockdown) Recovery Sessions #1 – ‘Arriving with Ourselves’

Kia ora koutou! Welcome, to episode 1 of the Anti-Perfectionism (lockdown) Recovery Sessions. Just like the title says, this is about relaxing, playing, and letting what wants to come out, come out, just the way it is. It is audio only, so you can listen along and do it your way. There’s no model of…

‘Queer assembly’ – writing by Hugo Robinson on ‘I’m glad you’re here, just the way you are’

‘Queer assembly’ – writing by Hugo Robinson on ‘I’m glad you’re here, just the way you are’

Kia ora Siân! I’ve been spending the last month trying to figure out how to best address you all in a piece of writing that would reveal even a shade of the colour you make me feel. A normal piece of writing could not possibly do justice to our relationships and the squiggly singing waves you emit.

Toi Poneke gallery You’re here. I want to welcome you. I want to invite you in. It’s been a really difficult time, for a while now. For everyone. The whole world is battling a pandemic. Political shifts are huge, seismic. Racism and white supremacy is in the spotlight, in sight, undeniable and needing to be […]

I’m glad you’re here, just the way you are

Exhibition – 27th June – 18th July Toi Poneke Gallery, Wellington Sometimes art making feels like an act of self-acceptance. What are these tangled, drippy, complex, funny things? They are you, and me, and what’s between us. They push and pull, unravel and stick together. They are proud and stand up. They are tired, and […]
