About Home, work, love and hope - Annual Artist Books Exhibition

This year’s Annual Artist Book Exhibition Call Out is based on a recent interview with Jacinda Ardern by Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell on their podcast The Rest Is Politics: Leading.

In it she drew on words by another former New Zealand Prime Minister, Norman Kirk. “He had this saying that all anyone ever really needs is somewhere to live, something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for. Now, there's a lot in that that still remains to be true.”

32 artists are exhibiting over 60 artist books on these four themes - individually or as a collection.

Exhibition dates 29 November - 19 December. Wed-Fri 11-5. Sat 12-4.
