Event Details
ngutukaka.aut.ac.nzCome along and make use of the social space to take a break, and enjoy a cuppa, utilising the Good to Go tumblers. Ceramic stirrers are also on offer for use with a cuppa and if the public would like, can be taken away.
Public Share (Monique Redmond, Deborah Rundle, Mark Schroder, Harriet Stockman) is an Aotearoa New Zealand artist collective engaging in ideas of production and exchange.
Combining object making and site exploration with social engagement and critique, the collective works with sites undergoing change and the workplace conditions that govern workers’ everyday activities, such as the hard-won entitlement to two 10-minute tea breaks in the working day.
Public Share invites conviviality within the setting of the break, which is symbolic of the notion of workers’ rights, and asserts the social and political implications of what it means to take pause.
