Portal 2026

Curated by Millie Dunstall

Portal brings together 17 artists who have volunteered at Artspace Aotearoa over the past two years. Through collective reflection, each artist has redeveloped an existing work in response to their shared experience, forming an interconnected circuit of renewed practices.

Translating the Real 2025

Every photograph is a translation from the real. In this process the real becomes an artifact, one that’s been mediated by the choices of the photographer to a greater or lesser extent. Artists working with archives and the photographic document have long recognised the tension between the subjective way memory is socially constructed while attempting to stay true to the world around them. This exhibition looks at artists working across the archive, the document and the subjective. 

Queer Theory & Practice 2025

 Curated by 3rd year students Cal Danvers and Izzy D. O’Hagan, this exhibition celebrates art that engages in ‘queering’ ideas, perspectives, objects and conventions. The collection examines queerness not just as identity, but as performative and transformative acts.
