Toi Whakaata / Reflections is a new exhibition celebrating Māori sculptor Fred Graham (Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Tainui). It opens at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery on Saturday 8 June.
The exhibition reflects on the artist’s career spanning 70 years, and comes at a significant moment for Graham - now 95 - who is one of the eight artists from Aotearoa who were invited to participate in the prestigious international exhibition at this year’s Venice Biennale.
Beth caught up with the curator of Toi Whakaata / Reflections, Hester Rowan, about the exhibition.
