Like The Turf | Caroline McQuarrie
Next date: Sunday, 22 December 2024 | 04:00 AM
to Sunday, 26 January 2025 | 04:00 PM
Like the Turf explores Pākehā histories of colonial settlement through the examination of skilled immigrants from Cornwall and Southwest Devon who came to Aotearoa in the late 1800s. Combining photographic imagery, embroidery, and textiles to contextualise the lives of these colonial-settlers, Caroline McQuarrie weaves the less visible experience of women and families with the legacy of industry.
Artist talk: 11am, Saturday 2 November.
The Forrester Gallery will be open all day Saturday 2nd Nov, 10 am – 4 pm to celebrate the opening of five new exhibitions.
