Theme

A young boy sits nervously waiting his turn to sing a solo version of Amazing Grace in the cold auditorium of Wakatipu High School. On one side of the Te Roopu o Kawarau Maori Culture group sits the scary lady with the miniature Casio keyboard and on the other, a little Pakeha lad close to tears. Central Otago in the early 1980s was an interesting place to start a journey of discovery that continues to this day.
This exhibition is about the re-defining of an identity within the changing face of New Zealand. As this little boy grew into an adult, he grew in appreciation of what it means to be a part of the story of New Zealand.

Film: Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens Thursday June 26 8pm Tickets $8:00.
