HUMcard: notes from an artist

Digital mailout series

The HUMcard is an exclusive mailout series originally developed for Contemporary HUM's supporters, offering an intimate, unmediated look into international projects by Aotearoa artists and curators.

Each edition features exclusive images alongside a short text written directly by the practitioner, providing insights into the contexts, challenges and motivations behind exhibitions and residencies, and inviting the HUM community directly into the studios and processes of globally active creatives.
