Through Air, Breath and Stone
By Yuka Keino
07.10.2025
Travelling to Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, curator Yuka Keino responds to Aotearoa artist Sarah Hudson’s work Reconciliation. Keino explores the role of stone as a medium of memory, linking the distant islands of Moutohorā, Aotearoa, and Megijima, Japan, through material practices and ancestral knowledge, suggesting a site specificity that is transformed into something translocal, relational and ultimately decolonial.

From Moutohorā to Megijima
20.08.2025
Aotearoa artist Sarah Hudson (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pūkeko, Ngāi Tūhoe) speaks to UK artist Joanne Coates on the occasion of her participation in the Naoshima Art Residency and Setouchi Triennale in Japan, and simultaneous exhibition in Whakatāne, Aotearoa New Zealand. Taking Hudson’s series of works "Reconciliation" as a point of departure, Hudson and Coates discuss how histories embedded in land and community can be explored in different lands, among different communities, and the radical act of protecting space for quietness, calmness and reciprocity.

And I dance into the future with the past, as a bird
By Haruko Kumakura
27.12.2024
Writing on Aotearoa New Zealand’s presentation at the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Shannon Te Ao’s Ia rā, ia rā (rere runga, rere raro) - Everyday (I fly high, I fly low) (2021), Haruko Kumakura argues that the work brings into focus what the thematic exhibition of the Biennale misses: a weaving together of the voices of the past, present and future appropriate both to the political context of its exhibition and the social and ecological urgencies of our time.

In this short piece, originally put together as a HUMcard mailout for Contemporary HUM's Publishers Circle, Aotearoa-based artist Yukari Kaihori reflects on her two-week residency at Ma Umi Residencies on Ishigaki Island, Japan. The impacts of climate change and marine debris on the subtropical island offer the context for a meditation on the ecological entanglements between objects, animals, and places.
