FLUIDITY
An exhibition by Sonja Drake & Kathryn Carter Opening Event 3 - 5pm Saturday 25th November, all welcome Fluidity came about as a collaborative idea based on a shared interest in hydrologic systems and the fluid and porous way elements of our environment interrelate. The artists share an interest in the land, and their practices involve a commonality of walking and observing, then reflecting, interpreting and journaling to better understand these areas of active filtering and exchange.

Williams is a teacher, artist and broadcaster who has made a significant contribution throughout his career to bettering the educational, social, and cultural outcomes of Māori. In 2022 he was recognised by his appointment as a knight (KNZM) for services to Māori, literature, and education. In the arts he is a published poet and painter and has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions and has recently released a book of poetry, Haare Williams Words of a Kaumātua. thanks to the Franklin Arts Centre, more info here: www.facebook.com/events/
