Join us for an opening weekend Coffee & Croissants conversation at Sir Miles Warren Gallery to welcome in Pleasure Garden with curators Zoe Black and Jordan Davey-Emms.

The pair will share reflections on Pleasure Garden – the first exhibition in our Ōtautahi Christchurch programme exploring the garden as a source of creativity, experimentation, communion, and nourishment.

Zoe and Jordan will then invite contributors to the exhibition to share insights, including Neke Moa, Lizzy Leckie, Turumeke Harrington, Georgia Arnold, Cindy Huang, and Vanessa Arthur.

An event dedicated to the new commissions for Pleasure Garden – by Emma Wallbanks, Amelia Fagence and Mitchell Coll from Fabric Architecture – will take place later in November.
