"PUHON," (n) bisaya: 
A promise, a hope for the future. A dream for what lies ahead. 

PUHON is a digital art collection by Filipino-Kiwi artist Val Cabadonga, that celebrates the vibrant flavours, aromas, and rituals that shape Filipino identity. Val invites us to "tapok," or gather around his digital feast and immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Filipino life centred on food and family.

With over fourteen years of experience, Val is an award-winning artist specialising in digital art, design, and editorial photography. "Puhon" marks his first major exhibition. Each piece is a heartfelt tribute to his heritage and the culinary traditions that are central to his culture.

SHINY THINGS plays with the precarious threshold of what makes something worth remembering. 

Through the coupling of nineties era camera tech, with an absurdist, child-like curiosity, Dunlop synthetically imbues a sense of nostalgia in the present moment. 

The work — stream of consciousness driven — remains unbounded in its definition of what appeals, serving as a love letter to the very human desire to captureshiny things.

Crystal Cylinder, New Plymouth.

For Te Ao Hurinui, which references the idea of an ever-changing world, Wairau Māori Art Gallery has partnered with Whangārei Art Museum to utilise their significant collection. Through a selection of key works this exhibition references a transformative period in Aotearoa's art history and these visionaries of the modern Māori art movement who disrupted the creative scene and forged a pathway for the contemporary Māori art we know today.
