Moving through key collection spaces, with a particular focus on the Te Kawau Gallery (named after Āpihai Te Kawau), Tom will trace connections between art, place and people, highlighting how these stories intersect with the history of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, tangata whenua of central Auckland.
This tour reveals how artists have expressed identity, memory and moments of change across the Gallery’s collections. Along the way, Tom will reflect on the Gallery’s relationship to its site, its architectural messages, and the narratives held within its spaces.
Insightful and grounded in local histories, this experience offers visitors a richer understanding of the Gallery as a living part of Tāmaki Makaurau’s cultural landscape.
Please book now to avoid disappointment. Please check in at the front desk prior to the tour and you will be told where the tour starts.
