A collaboration with island-based creatives, Understory sheds light on Waiheke’s transformation from a once-barren landscape of sheep farms to the locus of conservation action. The interactive exhibition celebrates decades of dedication by conservation visionaries, practitioners and volunteers through sculpture, printmaking, painting, nature journals, photography and sound. Next to the main gallery, the Understory Regeneration Zone is designed for people to “have a go” at creating nature-inspired works on paper.
