Staying Power

This exhibition brings together a group of major works from the Dunedin Public Art Gallery collection by artists from Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, the Pacific. Each artwork employs performance as a central element, using the body, physicality of movement, endurance, and the action and outcome of labour as ways to draw audiences into artists’ ideas and experiences. Staying Power includes works by Kalisolaite ‘Uhila, Angela Tiatia and John Vea, as well as a project developed in collaboration with the Ōtepoti Pasifika Arts Collective.
