"Amiorangi" Matariki Exhibition

MATARIKI

On the Application Form; 'Amiorangi' is interpreted, "As a contextual vessel Amiorangi transmits its knowledge from information gathered back to earth so that man can navigate into the future." unquote

The THEME quote "This year artists look ahead and into the face of the changing world. A collaborative exhibition that reflects on the social change and perhaps the necessities to move with change. It is a cultural explorative journey of identity, challenge and conversation, a glimpse of where Aotearoa is now moving forward." unquote. Upon visiting Thornton Gallery's website I discover a further definition of the theme as being, quote; "So in a sense it is a kaupapa where we can look at our culture globally with the new technologies available, on line chatting, Facebook all these things, I.P the 21st century concerns with our culture." unquote. Adding this definition to the one described on the Application opens up a wider range of topics to choose from.
