    • Hiraeth Reading List
      • Hiraeth is a Welsh word describing a spiritual longing for a place that we have never been. It is the lost ancient places we imagine our ancestors would stomp their feet into their lands and the grief we struggle to locate in our bodies—a dislocated homesickness for a motherland we have never belonged to. Sylvan Spring and Holly Walker have researched and worked collaboratively to illustrate the intimate and at times awkward rituals they engage with, in a concerted effort to become truly Tangata Tiriti.

    • God the Mechanical Mother Reading List
      • God the Mechanical Mother is an exhibition of extraction and post-metaphysical effluvia. Kat Lang experiments with primordial and time-bound materiality, and offers a deconstructed ontotheological study into the implications of meaning and uncertainty.

    • Proposal for a Body Reading List
      • Proposal for a Body posits that sound and text-matter are mediums that can be regarded as inherently queer in their expansive and corporally liminal states. Jo Bragg and Georgina Brett draw on the music and writing of artists Loren Connors and Kim Gordon to communicate through sound and poetry abstract-experience; what is inexplicable.

    • All This Work Is Necessary Reading List
      • In All This Work Is Necessary, Ashleigh Taupaki presents a series of layered maps consisting of the archival text media and legislation that has negatively impacted the Hauraki wetlands. The reading list below is a small selection of resources that Taupaki has used throughout her studies.

    • Introducing the artists: a digital tausala
      • In Pasifika cultures, it's a no-brainer to call up your aunties, uncles, cousins, family members and friends to help with fundraisers. Rallying together is what we DO and do well. In Samoan culture there is a type of community fundraiser often hosted by schools, villages and churches called a tausala.
