Join us on the closing weekend of Joanna Margaret Paul: Imagined in the Context of a Room, as we reflect on Joanna's multidisciplinary practice and consider her artistic legacy. Our panel brings together people who knew and worked with Joanna and who have engaged directly with her work. Expect a conversation that celebrates the enduring impact of Joanna’s work while considering its influence in the contemporary moment.
We look forward to seeing you as Linda Tyler, Bridie Lonie, Brendan O'Brien and Sonya Lacey come together to discuss the exhibition and Joanna’s place in New Zealand’s art history now.
