The “Secret Garden” is a multi-media community arts event exploring the concept of the garden in art and the notion of transformation through nature.
The event involves transforming the studio space at Arts Therapy (NZ) Trust into a garden through the use of visual art, sound, video, photography, sculpture and performance.
The intention of this event is to heighten people’s awareness of their relationship to nature and its importance in their lives, for instance, hearing birdsong out of context in a studio makes one more aware of its presence or lack of presence in the natural environment.
The event brings different elements of the community together around the theme of arts meets ecology and stimulating the imagination and empowerment around environmental issues.
The garden is “secret”, highlighting the creative imagination, special places of growth and transformation, a place of healing and worship.
Being “secret” creates a sense of surprise and wonder when entering the space, and witnessing the transformation of an industrial space into an organic environment is magical.
Sat 26th and Sunday 27th of September from 6pm to 10pm.
