Each month Square Edge hosts artists’ exhibitions in our three beautiful gallery spaces. Exhibitions are accepted as part of a proposal process. If you are interested in exhibiting here at Square Edge please submit a proposal by the due date. Our team review submissions once a year and plan our yearly exhibition schedule. We accept proposals from artists in any media, are open to discussion, and love diversity! You can read about our process, what we offer and the costs involved, and view the online form here:

māmā says our whenua is buried under the golden elm
‘māmā says our whenua is buried under the golden elm’ is an exhibition about whakapapa and the threads of their collective ancestral history. It is about exploring the stories of their tipuna and a reflection on how those histories shape where they stand today. It is an exploration of their relationship as a niece and an aunt, how they learn from each other and create together across generations.
The title of this exhibition is both literal and metaphorical. Molly’s whenua is buried under the golden elm, alongside her siblings. The tree was planted by Paula’s parents. Though from different generations, they both grew up with the golden elm — The golden elm stands as a living reminder of ancestry, connection, and the shared ground on which we grow.

Kettle Retold | Toi Warbrick
Due to the awesomeness of Papers Past (National Library of New Zealand) we can read the detailed account of Charles Kettle which was first published in a Wellington newspaper in 1842. He describes his journey up the Manawatū Awa, through Te Āpiti and beyond. We’ve collated his account and created works mentioned by Kettle.
