Thank you Kamasi Moon 🥰 and family for popping in again on your way home ✈️, clever visiting arts heads here for the AAANZ conference, and finally #SeanKerrigan, exhibitor, not {just} builder or handyman! 🙌🏽 #Ōtāhuhu #SouthAuckland #PacificArt #FreeWestPapua #FindingEmory #Community

Tonight we honour the work and impact of legendary artist, #EmoryDouglas, who we first welcomed to #SouthAuckland in 2009 at #FreshGalleryŌtara. His work was so inspirational to so many of us, and our last show for 2019 is testament to the timelessness, the fearlessness of this mode of art making... Mad respect to the man, and to the eight artists who have made new work for this show. It’s particularly special to have our art brother, #SiligaDavidSetoga in the house... we casually called you the godfather of clever Pacific graphic design the other day; Siliga, we’re so happy to have you back in the fold, your work is and always has been fire!! #PacificArt #PacificSpace #SouthAuckland #Community #Ōtāhuhu #RealTalk

Our 7th exhibition, “Finding Emory - A Poster Show” opens tomorrow night at #VunilagiVou! We’ve used our billboard wall to make a mash-up of the 7 new beautiful poster works featured in the show, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow! This is our last opening for 2019, our unofficial Christmas drinkies - come through for some hard out #SouthAuckland real talk! (Some censorship has been applied in the public arcade space 💀 in consideration of our neighbourhood sensibilities!) #PacificArt #PacificSpace #MoanaOceania #Ōtāhuhu #EmoryDouglas #SeanKerrigan #HurianaKopekeTeAho #RebeccaAnnHobbs #TanuGago #CyprisAfakasi #TokerauWilson #LeilaniKake #SiligaDavidSetoga 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We asked 7 artists to devise a poster about a political issue that has moved their heads and hearts in 2019 and the results are 🔥 #TanuGago’s work is particularly pertinent to the everyday fear and threat so many people feel in #SouthAuckland since the NZ Police started their six month trial of armed Special Response Units. Our exhibition, “Finding Emory - A Poster Show” opens tomorrow, Tuesday 3 December, at 6pm - all welcome to check out new works by Cypris Afakasi, Tanu Gago, Leilani Kake, Sean Kerrigan, Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho & Rebecca Ann Hobbs, Siliga David Setoga and Tokerau Wilson, alongside 7 beautiful signed prints by Emory Douglas, found in a skip bin in central Auckland. It’s a hard swipe right on political consciousness this December at Vunilagi Vou! #Ōtāhuhu #SouthAuckland #ArmedPolice #RealTalk #ArtTruths #VoiceOfThePeople #PacificArt
