Join Notes for tomorrow exhibiting artist Areez Katki in conversation with Te Uru’s curator, Tendai Mutambu. In this informal online discussion Katki will elaborate on the five works on display at Te Uru, the bodies of work from which they derive, and how their thematic and formal qualities relate to the artist’s wider interests in memory, language, queerness, and how material culture can be translated and reworked.
