Join us to discover Antarctica’s power of creative inspiration with special guest artists: Anne Noble, John Walsh, Chris Orsman, Margaret Elliot, Jason O’Hara and Patrick Shepherd.
Artists in Antarctica explores the transformation that happens when artists visit the vast, challenging, and chilling landscapes of Antarctica. This book brings together the creatives of Aotearoa New Zealand who have been to the ice, and the impact this experience has had on their art and their creative process. Hear how the physical challenges of working in this harsh and extreme environment can uniquely harness and capture the creative imagination.
This talk will be hosted by artist and author Patrick Shepherd. Artists in Antarctica is published by Massey University Press.
Free, all welcome. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment. This talk will be located in the Theatre of the Newtown Community Centre.
