Friends + Family is a group exhibition that embodies a kaupapa Māori and kaupapa Moana Oceania way of educating our youth in the visual arts. Emerging artist Ercan Cairns’s story reflects his unique access to some of Aotearoa’s most treasured senior artists; Fatu Feu’u, Emily Karaka, Donn Ratana, Tevita Latū, Taniela Petelo, Terje Koloamatangi and Alexis Neal. Cairns seeks to critique an art education system that failed, or saved him, and brings together his circle of mentors’ voices to showcase their impact on his practice.
Featuring the work of Ercan Cairns with Fatu Feu’u, Emily Karaka, Donn Ratana, Tevita Latū, Taniela Petelo, Terje Koloamatangi and Alexis Neal.
