Opening: Thursday 25 February
Nellie-Ann Rerekura, Post Grad Dip.Maori Business Development, Kirkpatrick Mariner, MA Health Management, and Richard S. Cooper Doc.FA., all work together for the Counties Manukau District Health Board.
They see first-hand how fast the statistics are rising for chronic illnesses in Manukau. They question why diabetes, heart disease, gout and other chronic illnesses are so prevalent in our community.
Through installation, photographs, drawing and sculpture the artists reference the everyday physical, spiritual and historical sequences that impact on health. In this exhibition they combine their knowledge and experiences to present an exhibition that intends to discuss and promote healthy family living.
Timed to coincide with Auckland’s Pasifika Festival.
