Exhibition

TE PĀTAKA TOI / ADAM ART GALLERY 6 JUNE – 16 AUGUST 2020

Art has long been used to increase the political consciousness of the wider public. Violent Legalities is an exhibition that is part art and part research, exemplifying the richness that can come from interdisciplinarity. It combines anthropology, art, architecture and software design to create an exhibition that provokes us to acknowledge the widespread, systematic and ongoing instances of violence against non-Pākehā in Aotearoa New Zealand.
