from elsewhere w/ James Gatt: 4th October, 2024

from elsewhere is a collaborative exhibition by Newell Harry and Peter Simpson, currently showing at Te Uru Gallery. The exhibition aims to address the notion of being ‘from elsewhere’.

The title is drawn from a quote in philosopher Franz Fanon’s 1961 book The Wretched of the Earth: ‘The governing race is first and foremost those who come from elsewhere, those who are unlike the original inhabitants, “the others.” ’

Beth had a kōrero with the curator of the exhibition, James Gatt, about the collaborative aspect of from elsewhere as well as the curation process.
