Takarunga: A Natural History by Tate Agnew delves into the ecological and social history of Takarunga (Mount Victoria) through a series of paintings, revealing its rich history and the often-overlooked depth of its ecological significance. Through a meticulous scientific study, Tate examines the mountain's endemic lichen and moss species, microbial footprint, and topological features, uncovering hidden ecological narratives that shape Takarunga's identity. Beyond the natural world, the exhibition explores the concept of legal personhood for natural entities, prompting reflection on how such frameworks could be applied to other taonga places in conservation efforts.

Phoenix Theatre presents The Pink Hammer, a Kiwi comedy that truly nails it, laughter guaranteed!
Evening performances: 7.30pm; Matinee performances: 2pm
Annabel, Helen, Louise and Siobhan think they are signing up for a cosy “ladies-only” carpentry class. Instead, they encounter Woody, a gruff, newly single, out-of-work builder who is in no mood for company. Undeterred, the four women persuade Woody to teach them the basics. What follows is a hilarious journey of haphazard handsaw use, bad baking and sharp-tongued banter. Between the sawdust and spirited spats, unlikely friendships blossom and unexpected emotions emerge as these determined women challenge stereotypes and discover that true strength often appears in the most surprising situations.
Michele Amas’s The Pink Hammer is a charming comedy celebrating resilience, empowerment and the joy of forging connections where you least expect them. Brace yourself for fast-paced one-liners, touching surprises and plenty of power tools. Join the build and leave with a story that will be hammered into your memory.
Proudly brought to you by Phoenix Theatre, whose Call Girls production sold out... Book now before the workshop fills up!
