You are warmly invited to an Opening and Floor Talk for Ko Murihiku Tōku Whaea Southern Mother featuring the work of Kyla Cresswell, Emma Kitson and Kim Lowe on Friday 10 February 2023 at 7pm.
This group exhibition explores the artists’ connections to Southland and celebrates Murihiku, the great Southern Mother, who nurtured their artistic talents and values. Emma Riha Kitson is a descendant of Kai Tahu ki Murihiku. Kyla Cresswell and Kim Lowe both grew up in Murihiku and are descendants of Southland settlers. Emma, Kyla, and Kim met at the Dunedin School of Art in 1993. Over the following decades, they followed different paths, yet all three have gravitated towards the process-heavy technique of printmaking.
This is an opportunity to meet the three artists and hear them discuss the themes explored in this exhibition.
Admission free. All welcome.
Kind regards
Kyla, Emma, Kim and the ESG Gallery
