Material Diplomacy: From Abya Yala to Aotearoa


  • Te Whare Hēra Gallery Space Clyde Quay Te Aro, Wellington New Zealand (map)

Material Dilpomacy: From Abya Yala to Aotearoa exhibition curated by Armando Perla.

Rather than culminating in a conventional exhibition format, our current Te Whare Hēra residency concludes with a short-term, market-informed gesture: a temporary presentation structured through Indigenous market methodologies. Drawing on Perla’s own lineage of market women, this approach understands display as a form of circulation, encounter, and exchange, where knowledge is activated through proximity, movement and storytelling rather than fixed institutional hierarchies.

Featuring works by a selection of artists from Abya Yala and Aotearoa.
