Vā Kōrero: Julian Hooper & Albert L. Refiti

Vā Moana would like to invite you to a Vā Kōrero with our own taʻitaʻi fono, Lealiʻifano Albert L. Refiti, and our colleague and friend, Julian Hooper.

4-6pm
Tuesday 20 October
Te Wai Ngutu Kākā Gallery

The event will be held within Albert and Julian’s exhibition, Vāle, during its final week in the gallery. After opening with an ʻava ceremony, Albert and Julian will discuss their research and practices amidst their paper-based works.

Vā Kōrero operates as a platform to support the research and practice of Centre affiliates and our extended network. Affiliates, postgraduate candidates, and wider whānau are invited to share in ceremony and presentations of research, and to engage with and seek mentorship from knowledge holders, senior academics, and artists alike.‍

Email us to rsvp, fa‘amolemole.
