During this weekend of celebrations, artist George Nuku is honouring us with his presence to lead a workshop for all ages (from 4 upwards).

Using paper and grease pencil, George Nuku offers a workshop on how to represent your own identity on a participatory frieze. How would you draw your identity? What symbols would you use to represent yourself?

The workshop will run continuously to accommodate as many people as possible, with each participation designed to last a maximum of 25-30 minutes.

The final frieze will be exhibited on Sunday 3 November in the Museum Foyer, and a collective Haka will round off the weekend of festivities.

George Tamihana Nuku is an artist born in 1964 in Omahu, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Of Germanic and Scottish ancestry on his father's side, his maternal branch links him to the Māori tribes of Ngāti Kahungunu and Ngāti Tūwharetoa. After studies in art, sociology, geography and Māori culture at Massey University, he began a career in the plastic arts in 1986. He works with both natural materials, such as stone, bone, wood or shell, and plastic to create monumental installations which aim to increase public awareness of ocean pollution and question our relationship with nature.
