Māpura Studios have assembled a panel of experts to challenge the structural forces and imperatives that tell us who matters, and who doesn't matter, in our society. And whether, in fact, art matters.

The panellists will look at the difference between truth, lies, and assumption when it comes to people’s capability and contribution. And the truth, lies, and assumptions about what really matters to people.

Māpura’s vision sees art as an active agent of change; it informs hearts and minds, which changes how people act in the world. The discussion will investigate how to strengthen personal and community creative expression, and innovative ways to share the critical insights that artists work so hard to uncover.

Everyone is welcome. There will be a NZSL interpreter at the event.
Thanks to Creative New Zealand for helping fund this event.

Māpura Studios is an inclusive art space formed in 2000 with a focus on supporting artists from the disability community.
