SUMMARY:Exhibition - Nanuma: Karlina Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:Nanuma means to think and remember – together. This body of work draws on that principle to reimagine the colonial photograph as a site of reflection\, resistance\, and renewal. Rather than accepting these images as fixed historical records\, the works disrupt their authority and returns focus to the sitter – their presence and dignity. Through processes of reworking\, reframing\, and recontextualising archival imagery\, the project invites viewers to confront the layered histories embedded within the frame. Nanuma proposes a collective act of remembering that is active rather than passive\, opening space for dialogue and reinterpretation. By centring the perspectives of iTaukei people\, this body of work transforms the colonial gaze into a platform for self-representation and cultural continuity. In doing so\, it honours those depicted not as subjects of documentation\, but as individuals whose stories\, strength\, and identities endure beyond the photograph.

SUMMARY:Extra Padding
DESCRIPTION:‘Extra Padding’ is the third iteration of an ongoing project exploring quilting and textile art. Here\, the threads of the quietly contemplative\, the technically attentive\, and the mysterious weave together with the radical\, the interpersonal\, and the exploratory. \nQuilting may call to mind comfort\, cosiness\, and swaddled safety\, but for generations it has also been a vehicle for political resistance\, radical organising\, and community building. Rowdy humour and joyful collaboration are embedded in these works\, sitting alongside thread and fabric as essential materials in their own right\, bringing human emotion and physicality to the fore. \nThe predominant use of second-hand textiles marks these pieces as endpoints in an unfathomably complex system of manufacturing and labour. Yet through them\, artists can metaphorically repair and refashion their world. The works invite audiences to appreciate a myriad of techniques and subjects\, coming together to form a grotto of textural encounters and thoughtful expression.\nIn this exhibition\, quilting becomes a kind of armour: forged from community ties\, the comfort of shared joy\, and the enrichment of creative work. \nImage: Olivia Arnold\, ‘Soft Window\,’ 2024\, linen\, cotton\, thread\, cotton wadding\, bias binding\, 102 x 82cm.
