No Stone Unturned
Wellington 2016
Angela Kilford and Elijah Winter
No Stone Unturned is an opportunity to explore ecology and diversity in the city through a series of walks led by artists Angela Kilford and Elijah Winter. The project questions how we value different types of knowledge. The artists employ whakapapa (genealogy) and raranga (weaving) to explore the connections between people and place.
No Stone Unturned will occupy a 20ft container at the Performance Arcade, where a collaboration between the artists, participants and the Manaia weavers from Hikoikoi, Petone, will take place. Here the dialogue started in the walks will continue through learning and making.
Angela Kilford (NZ)
Angela Kilford (Te Whanau A Kai, Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu) is an artist based in Wellington. Through performance her practice investigates memory, memorialisation and landscape. Recent projects demonstrate a keen interest in contested memories within specific sites and seek to elevate oral histories as a means of recording the past. Kilford’s inspiration comes from Māori concepts and knowledge shared amongst whānau (family), which disrupts colonial narratives and questions the way in which we value different types of knowledge.
ELIJAH WINTER (NZ)
Elijah Winter is also an independent artist based in Wellington. His performative work extends across the media of photography, video and performance. His work is concerned with representation of bodies, histories, gender and sexuality, through the lens of queerness and a post-colonial framework.
