This show explores ideas of migration as an earth right, belonging, the power of ancestral and new lands, and the connection between land and humanity.
There is an undisputed importance of boundaries for protecting people and their land from further colonization and conquering, as well as protecting the first people of the land—a people who universally are most connected to and respectful of the land. Simultaneously, humanity’s connection to the earth exists and is capable of flourishing regardless of boundaries and must exist in spite of consumerism, xenophobia, or a sense of strangeness.
When I am no longer where the land reared me, I will still walk dirt roads, feel grass beneath my feet, take breath from the trees and flowers, allow the strange to become familiar; and, in doing so, the ground will learn my name.

Art and Pain: Living with chronic pain through art, is a powerful and deeply personal exhibition by Mara Elwood. Through her work, Mara shares insights into living with chronic pain, offering both reflection and connection through creative expression.
Visitors are invited to contribute to a co-created art installation and try one of the techniques used in a daily year-long practice piece Mara will be exhibiting.
Mara is also using this exhibition as a fundraiser for Migraine Foundation Aotearoa New Zealand. All proceeds from sales of the show, including ceramic pieces, Amigurumi creatures, and upcycled canvas multimedia art will be donated to the foundation to support our advocacy work.
