Enter the captivating world of Robyn Wilkinson's debut exhibition, Connected Disconnect. Through her lens, Robyn subtly explores the modern social dynamic, focusing on the dominant presence of smartphones. Each photograph delicately hints at the complexities of human connection in a digital age, capturing moments of solitude and distraction amidst social settings and beautiful surroundings.
Connected Disconnect invites viewers to reflect on the subtle interplay between technology and interpersonal relationships. Robyn's imagery navigates the fine line between intimacy and detachment, prompting contemplation of the evolving landscape of social norms.
In this exhibition, Robyn's photographs serve as a quiet invitation to explore the profound impact of technology on the fabric of our social fabric.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

A painting workshop with Filipino artist Dominic Deocampo as part of the World of Cultures celebration. In this workshop, participants will learn about the colourful art and culture of Southern Philippines and at the same time will learn on the basics of painting: layering and color mixing – using only 3 primary colors.
The Sarimanok (pronounced as sá·ri·ma·nók) is Philippine mythical legendary bird and a symbol of the Maranao, the people of the lake, known for their vibrant colors. Maranao is a predominantly Filipino ethnic group in Southern Philippines. Sarimanok is portrayed as a bird with assorted and vibrant colours mostly in spiral motifs holding a fish on its beak. It represents good fortune.
Each participant will paint a Sarimanok on a small canvas and take it home with them. All materials provided.
