Thank you to the DJs Djskarob and Miss Bel-Q for the musical ambience of the smoothest tunes.

Where Are You From? at Studio One Toi Tu

When people of ethnic backgrounds are asked, “Where are you from?”; not only does this question imply a lack of belonging, but it is also laden with assumptions. One of these assumptions is that there is a simple answer to the question, that they are from one specific place or background.

In reality, people’s backgrounds are complex and layered. Within this collection, each portrait offers a nuanced depiction, showcasing individuality while celebrating agency, strength, and beauty.

Drawing upon my own immigrant experiences to capture the rich cultural diversity of Tāmaki Makaurau’s communities. Through my artwork, I prompt viewers to contemplate the assumptions that often arise when

encountering people from different backgrounds.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant and captivating collection of representational portraits featuring individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, at the newly refurbished Studio One Toi Tu, 1 Ponsonby Road, Auckland, from Thursday, 28 September for a month.

 

 

Exhibition opening: Wed 27 Sep 5pm

Workshop at Corban Estate Art Centre – Feedback

A few photos from the recent Intuitive Collage workshop at Corban Estate Arts Centre. We all enjoyed the spacious and well-lit art room while connecting and creating. This is Rebecca’s feedback: ” I am happy to tell you that the class was fantastic. However, I would be remiss without telling you that the instructor Naomi Azoulay was outstanding. Although she is a trained artist, she displayed a high level of skills in her teaching abilities. She encouraged and stretched the students with praise and was able to convey information in an easy-to-follow and understandable manner. She was fun and inclusive while dealing with the needs of each individual student.
Simply put, she led a remarkable class. “
Thank you, Rebecca; it means a lot!
I’ll be back at Corbans soon; watch this space for details 🙂
