Discover Jasmine Togo-Brisby's large-scale exhibition, ungeographic, at Pātaka Art+Museum in Porirua until 9 November. Jasmine is an internationally acclaimed artist based in Brisbane who has been pivotal in raising awareness of Australian South Sea Islanders, the Australian-born descendants of people brought to Australia as “indentured labourers” from over eighty Moana nations between 1847 and 1904. For over a decade, she has created large artworks that draw on icons and materials of the Pacific slave trade to create a specific visual language unique to South Sea Islanders’ histories and experiences.

Free entry at Pātaka – open daily, 10am - 5pm. See pataka.org.nz for more information.
