Due to Friday's events and the ongoing advice of the Mayor and the Prime Minister we have postponed this panel and will be looking for a new date for it to take place. We will update this page with the new date early next week.
Margaret Orbell was a highly respected writer and scholar of Māori culture and the wife of Gordon Walters.
In this talk her colleagues Christine Tremewan, Jennifer Shennan and Wendy Pond discuss her life and work with Julia Waite (Auckland Art Gallery).

Gordon Walters: New Vision
24 November 2018 – 17 March 2019
Remembered especially for his Koru or Pītau series, Gordon Walters’s explorations into modernist abstract painting are invested with a distinctly South Pacific energy.
Commentary
Gordon Walters
Te Waipounamu the South Island is crisscrossed by hundreds of traditional mahinga kai, or food-gathering, routes. Used by Waitaha, Kāti Mamoe and Kāi Tahu people over centuries, these routes provided access to the best destinations to harvest food, as well as facilitating the transport of pounamu from the Arahura through Nōti Raukura (Browning’s Pass) across Ka Tiritiri o te Moana (the Southern Alps) to Tuahiwi, north of Christchurch.
