Talk
Past event
Meet at the front desk
Join Kim Lowe (Kati Hainamana, Kati Pākehā) in conversation with writer and critic Andrew Paul Wood as she discusses her painting and printmaking practice in the context of her family's Chinese diasporic history in Aotearoa and the Te Wheke exhibition.
Kim Lowe is an artist and printmaker based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, and in 2019 was the recipient of the prestigious Olivia Spencer Bower Award. Her work often uses forms and elements taken from her hybridised New Zealand Chinese, Pākehā-European and Southern New Zealand cultures and environment. Lowe studied at University of Canterbury School of Fine Art and the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in Dunedin, and teaches in Art and Design at the Ara Institute of Canterbury.
A floortalk will be followed by further discussion in the auditorium.
