On behalf of the CSA Board of Trustees and CoCA whānau, we’d like to warmly invite you to the opening event of our first exhibition in 2025:
   

Migratory Patterns, curated by Hayley Walmsley, with Jonny Waters, Jesse-James Pickery, Nikita Rewha, Aidan Geraghty, Aroha Novak, Heramaahina Eketone, Moewai Marsh, Isaiah Okeroa, David Garcia, Jon Jeet

Within our lives we all seek to define and redefine our concepts around home and identity. No matter if we move for education or work, we are constantly in a migratory pattern- moving simultaneously closer and further away from what used to define us to what now does. This is undeniably dichotomous, on the one hand you are excited, there is a sense of exploration, of discovery, of something new. And, on the other there is a sense of grief and loss, of places and faces that are familiar.
 
We leave home not necessarily knowing that home moves on without us, so what do we take with us? What do we keep and what do we put to the side as we recontextualise who we are, where we come from, and what that means for our everyday lives creating new homes, in secondary spaces.
