About this Event

The Migrating Rocks exhibition has been created by Alyson Hallett in response to a research project looking at returning rocks to Aotearoa New Zealand, Maori protocols and ethical futures.

Event Series

Thursday 16th April - 2:00 - 4:00pm

On this day Alyson and Claudia Hildebrandt (curator) will be available to chat and explore themes in the exhibition. We anticipate this will be a quiet, reflective afternoon. Please reserve a free ticket.

Thursday 21st May - 2:30 - 4:30pm

Alyson and Claudia will be in conversation about the project, what it means for a poet and curator to work together and what this project has achieved and hopes to achieve in the future. The conversation will take place from 3.00 - 4.00. Please reserve a free ticket.

** On both occasions there will be a chance to hold the rocks that have been given a formal Maori blessing.
