A Migrant’s Path Exhibition and Collage Workshop

I am stoked to announce a collaboration with the gifted Abhi Chinniah from Ramii Studio. Abhi is a portrait photographer, podcaster, and writer. Her debut photographic series Light Skin Dark Skin used portraits of Kiwi women to explore the journeys people have to take as a result of the colour of their skin. She started her podcast Her Skin in June 2020, connecting with minority groups around the world. Her ongoing work celebrates the diverse cultures existing in Aotearoa. Drawing from her lived experiences, Abhi uses portraiture to elevate marginalized voices, women of colour, migrant communities, explore colorism and everything in between.
Abhi’s brilliant photographic exhibition, ‘A Migrant’s Path’ will be presented at Depot Artspace, Devenport, from 12 August to 1 September. The opening is on Saturday 14 August 2-4pm and Artist on site: Sunday 22 August 11-3pm. I highly recommend coming along and experiencing in real-life size these powerful portraits. I will be running a collage workshop in conjunction with the exhibition. Using portraits from Abhi’s own personal collection, you will experiment with collage and have a stunning piece of art to take home with you.
All materials are provided.
There are limited spots available, so be quick!

Here is the Titirangi Community Collage , created by lots of people on World Collage Day at the Titirangi Community House. I am so proud of the outcome and of each and every piece of paper on this. Each piece has a human and a story behind it. Some are random and fun, some are deep, personal, and emotional. Some pieces really represent this special place we live in. I could talk about it for hours but I reckon you should come and check it out for yourself. It will be displayed at the Titirangi Community House foyer, pop in when you’re in the hood, there is so much detail that does not show well on a small screen, you know. This has been such a success; I am keen to facilitate more group collages in the future, this is only the beginning yo.

Titirangi Community Collage Event

Thank you all that participated in our Community Collage event last weekend at the Titirangi Community House. Just as I hoped for, we had young children through to the older of us. families, couples, and lots of artists. So much talent! Spending the day collaging with all of you has reminded me how much I love my local community (westside!🤙🏽). I had the pleasure to meet so many friendly new faces while feeling the love from old-time friends who came to support. Loved seeing the ones who have been doing collage workshops with me before, just killing it with skill, creativity, and confidence. The collage is not quite finished; I am going to take it to a couple of locals who are bedridden to finish it off. Once it’s done, I will post a photo here and it will also be up on the wall at the community house foyer. Thank you for the incredible support: Denise from the Titirangi Community House and Sammy from The Upstairs Gallery.
