Sunday GIRL

Sunday GIRL pop-up exhibition  /  Sat 10 + Sun 11 OCT 2020

Sunday GIRL is an annual pop-up art exhibition featuring over 20 female artists. While their backgrounds and mediums are genuinely diverse, they represent a collective voice of the multi-tasking contemporary woman’s world view.

Women comprise approximately 65% of the art school population, yet they make up only 32% of artists represented by commercial art galleries.

Sunday GIRL provides disability and celebrates essential representation in the art world and its histories. Free entry, 11 am – 4 pm daily; the curator will play host, providing narrative around the works.

See you at the Barrel Store exhibition space at Corban Estate Art Centre, 2 Mt Lebanon Lane, Henderson on Sat 10 + Sun 11 October 2020.

I’M JUST OLDER DARLING

Launched and ready for listening

A project we’ve been awaiting with much anticipation has now launched and is ready for your listening!   I’M JUST OLDER DARLING, a podcast series featuring the elders of our community. 

The role of this project is to provide the Same Same But Black audience, friends and members of the LGBQTTIA and People Of Colour Community (P.O.C), of Henderson-Massey with a positive image of themselves in a supportive and safe environment. 

Each podcast interview captures a snapshot on how our community looks from the interviewees’ point of view and provides a platform to hear their voices and stories.

We are very grateful to Michelle Mascoll for coming up with this project idea during our March Lockdown and to those that were interviewed – it couldn’t be more vital than at a time when we all need more connection and understanding among each other.  I’M JUST OLDER DARLING is now available for your listening and ‘sharing’ at: www.samesamebutblack.co.nz.
