On behalf of the CSA Board of Trustees and CoCA whānau, we'd like to warmly invite you to the opening event of 'There is (no) Anthropocene', our last exhibition for 2025.

Artists Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux with Colleen Coco Collins, Janine Randerson and Arielle Walker, Shelley Simpson, and Virginia Were present new lens-based and sculptural works focused on: the intersecting stories of historic mining sites in Iceland and Mi’kma’ki; our current government’s push to reinvigorate petroleum and mineral exploration in Aotearoa New Zealand; and the impact of extreme weather on Tāmaki Makaurau’s west coast.

Join us at 5.30pm for a mihi whakatau, to celebrate the artists and this incredible exhibition.
