    Taupuruariki Brightwell Leala Faleseuga Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho Rex Paget Janice aka Hy-bee Ikiua Pasi-Taito

    Curated by Leilani A. Sio

    21 September – 13 October Opening: Thursday 20 September 5.30pm

    The Future is Death, curated by Leilani Sio aka Panda, asks what place migrant people have in a colonised land. Emerging Pasifika artists reimagine a new existence for their people.

    The artists in this Tautai exhibition use digital and mixed media, soundscape/spoken word, zines, photography and sculpture to expose how colonisation has blurred the ancestral connections of Tangata Whenua and Tangata O Le Moana. The Future is Death explores how to break free of the past and create a future free of the limits of somebody else’s imagination and structures

    Saturday 29 September 1 - 4pm Raw Fish Live panel discussion The Bungas Have Landed!

    Saturday 6 October 1pm Artist/curator’s talk: Taupuruariki Brightwell and Leilani A Sio Hiro’s Progeny

    Toi Poneke is a great arts centre for music and really good for my friend Andy Mauafua's screening for "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" on Wednesday 18th July 2018.

    It's a really good place for all sorts of music and performing arts vibes,and great to hire out rooms for special things.
