19 May - 1 June 2006Farmers Queen StreetCurated by Jin Hong
Although all human eyes are different in terms of colour and shape, our perception of Auckland is similar. Multicultimedia is a visual display that shows Auckland's unique and diverse identity, and reflects on how Aucklanders can live in multicultural harmony.
It will be displayed in the window of Farmers Queen Street and comes in two parts:
a visual documentary of people from different cultures singing Pokarekare Ana
a visual documentary of a day in the life of the CBD showing Auckland's cultural diversity. About the artist - Jin K. M. Hong
