Taranaki Fortunes: lost and won
Taranaki Fortunes: lost and won
Date: Sat 14 Nov 2009 to Sun 21 Feb 2010,
Venue: Main Gallery, Puke Ariki
Take a look at the bad times and the good in a dramatic story of hope and heart break, innovation and sheer hard work.
Taranaki Fortunes: lost and won traces the ups and downs of a region rich in opportunity but often challenged by circumstances and events. War, recession, topography and isolation meet robustness, resourcefulness, doggedness and ingenuity and the Taranaki spirit that makes this region unique.
Continuing the Common Ground series, this exhibition brings artefacts from Puke Ariki's heritage collection together with items from other institutions and contemporary art works to provoke contemplation and discussion.
