Orokonui Ecosanctuary Te Korowai o Mihiwaka communicators Taylor Davies-Colley (Ngāpuhi) and Madison Kelly (Kāi Tahu) and artist Megan Brady will together share whakaaro around rimu, mana rākau, whakapapa and forest ecology, revisiting conversations held on site with several rimu in Orokonui's cloud forest over the past summer during the development of ... we all become all of these things.
All welcome! Light refreshments will be provided, please contact director@blueoyster.org.nz if you have any accessibility requirements.
Megan Brady (Kāi Tahu, Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Pākehā) works across sculpture, installation and textiles, exploring the ways we navigate and connect with sites, often responding to the patterns and details of the environment. Her work combines an engagement with themes of whakapapa, history, identity and the family archive, with a focus on memories held within the landscape. Brady invites viewers to engage with the sensory and sonic dimensions of space through site-responsive installations, fostering intimate connections between people, place and the stories that shape both.
