What we choose to remember w/ Lisa Beauchamp: 31st October, 2025
Description
What we choose to remember is a group show bringing together artists Hiria Anderson-Mita, Köken Ergun, Tada Hengsapkul, and Kulimoe’anga Stone Maka, currently showing at Gus Fisher Gallery.
Together, through their respective practices and materiality, the artists question and inquire into ideas of nation building and national identities – each contemplating different histories of the respective geographical and political landscapes they connect to, questioning the way we remember these pivotal moments. With a plurality in voices, the space invites a reflection on the multiplicity of experience, but also the closeness of these respective accounts. As a whole, the exhibition asks us to reflect on these narratives and connect them back to our present – if this is how these moments in history have been remembered, how will we remember our present when it too becomes history?
Sof had a kōrero with Director and Curator of Contemporary Art at Gus Fisher Gallery, Lisa Beauchamp, about the show, the artists’ works, and the thematic conceptions that bind them.
