Rounding up a fantastic first year in our great new location at 37 Ponsonby Road, we're overjoyed to now present exhibitions at The Poi Room.
We have some exciting artists lined up to meet and greet, the first being local multimedia artist, Aimee Gruar with 'Te Rau-o-te-Huia ~ The Treasured Possession of Te Huia'.
This exhibition celebrates the beauty of the iconic huia bird, particularly its unique tail feathers.
Gruar's art pieces, intricately crafted from vintage fabric sourced through secondhand suppliers, aim to encourage viewers to reflect on their impact on the natural world and the importance of sustainable practices.
By focusing on remembrance, she not only preserves the memory of the huia but also offers a powerful commentary on the interconnectedness of cultural heritage and ecological responsibility.
Join us at the opening event on Tuesday, 11 June, from 5:30pm - 7:30pm to meet Aimee and be among the first to experience her latest body of work. Enjoy refreshments and a relaxed environment to browse at your leisure.
OPENING HOURS:
9:30am - 5:30pm Monday to Friday
9:30am - 5pm Saturday
10am - 4pm Sunday
Follow us on social @thepoiroom to keep up with all the latest.
