Franklin Arts Centre - Sonja Drake, Sandra Littlejohns-Clark, Kellie Masiutama - This Place

- 09/12/2022

"This place is a group exhibition bringing to the foreground diverse
ways of belonging and connecting to a place.

Concentrating on Pukekohe and the wider South area, Sonja Drake,
Sandra Littlejohns-Clark and Kellie Masiutama focus on places, people,
memories, and histories of personal significance. Coming from a range
of prespectives they reflect on the environmental and social impacts
and their whakapapa to a place"
