Things That Shape

Us 24 July to 7 November, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū Working in the aftermath of a raft of harrowing events, a collection of artists employs documentary practices to probe issues of art, democracy and collective action. Things That Shape Us spreads its focus from Ōtautahi Christchurch to examine the global impacts of trauma caused by racism, inequality and indigenous global politics — from colonization to Nagasaki. Using photography, moving images and graphic design projects, a line-up of artists asks how a community can gather in the long shadow of trauma and use the effect and memory of loss to work towards a better democracy. Artists include Fiona Amundsen, Matthew Galloway, John Miller, Natalie Robertson, Ella Sutherland, Violent Legalities, Miranda Parkes and Tim J. Veling. christchurchartgallery.org.nz
