Dive into an inspiring conversation where art meets ecology!

Join sculptor Kiya Nancarrow, photographer Peter Rees, painter Katie Trinkle-Legge, and local conservationists: Rosemary Thorne (stoat trapping, Te Matuku) and Norm Robbins (Friends of McKenzie Reserve) as they celebrate Waiheke’s transformation from barren farmland to thriving forest.

Facilitated by Dr. Monica Peters (Understory Exhibition coordinator), this dynamic panel explores how creativity can intertwine with conservation efforts to narrate decades of ecological restoration.

Discover the creative processes behind translating environmental change into art and hear firsthand how conservationists are revitalizing the island. From “light-bulb moments” to actionable lessons for community projects, this free event promises inspiration and fresh perspectives. All are welcome!
