Grace Gassin, Curator Asian New Zealand Histories at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, observes in the book Between Dreams: “Dreaming is an active state. It is a time when we engage with our past and play with ... our potential futures.” For this talk, she explores featured pieces from Te Papa’s collection, illuminating what each reveals about Aotearoa’s Asian communities and their relationship with history in the present.
Presented by Friends of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū courtesy of the Estate of Julie King.
