Artist’s talk Thursday 14 March at 6:00pm

Portrait session: Saturday 16 March (booking required)

Raymond Sagapolutele is a visual artist and academic based in Manurewa. Sagapolutele, through his parents, has links to Fatuvalu, Saoluafata and Tanugamanono villages in Samoa but has lived in Manurewa for most of his life.

Our Parents' Dreams is a reflective examination of the lived experiences of an artist raised in South Auckland that spans the evolution of his practice over the past decade. Images that traverse the nocturnal landscapes of South Auckland sit alongside self portraits that examine the nature of identity and culture as a diasporic Samoan.

On Saturday 16 March, Raymond will be hosting free portrait sessions here at Nathan Homestead Pukepuke. We only have a few spots left, so bookings are essential! Please call us on 09 267 0180, or email nathan.homestead@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz to reserve your spot.

We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
