Turning 'Meh' Into Wow

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Turning 'Meh' Into Wow
An exhibition by Amanda Tomasoa, Angel Rage, Connie Takarangi, John Moss, Karen Hansen, Ronny Tomasoa, Tania Sunde, Vjekoslav Nemesh
Franklin Arts Centre
21 June - 12 July

Everyone knows Kiwis are very creative and clever. This exhibition is a part of a project that offers a fun challenge to artists & participants by turning an existing item heading to the dumpster into something new by recycling those used items. Thus, turning something ‘meh’ into something ‘Wow’.

Our artists created useable items visitors can buy or view. This project also encourages artists to rework a painting that was lacklustre into something they can be proud to show.

Visitors are welcome to dress up and pose with the items on show while photographers on hand will record the event.

Free entry. All welcome!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
