Echo w/ Erika Holm, Ngaroma Riley, and Tarika Sabherwal: 24th October, 2025

Echo is this year’s Chartwell Trust New Commissions exhibition at Artspace Aotearoa, showing new work by Tāmaki-based emerging artists Erika Holm, Ngaroma Riley, and Tarika Sabherwal.

Guided throughout the year by the mentorship of senior artists Judy Darragh, Nova Paul, and Anoushka Akel, the artists investigate mythology and storytelling through painting and sculpture, positioning these practices as critical sites for examining multiplicity and the complexity of existence.

Sofia spoke to Erika, Ngaroma, and Tarika about their respective works in the show and their experience of this mentorship programme.
