SUMMARY:Puka Pikitia - Toi Hikitia | Picturebooks - Artistic Hooks
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 01 May – Friday 03 Oct 2025\nMonday – Friday 9am – 4pm (excl. public holidays)\nGallagher Academy of Performing Arts | Foyer Gallery\n\nJoin us in celebrating the superheroes of art and illustration\, sharing stories about superheroes\, and shaping our future by connecting with our tamariki through art and story. Ka rawe! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen children engage with picture books\, they are simultaneously being introduced to the world of art. Drawing on the University of Waikato Te Iho o Te Manawataki|Library collections\, this exhibition delves into the superhero trope to highlight the underestimated power of picture books in art and children’s literature. \nPicture books are the unsung superheroes of our lives\, with artists and illustrators working undercover to create magic. These books weave stories through text\, image\, and voice often in their telling\, making them true superheroes. One of the lesser-known superpowers of picture books lies in their illustrations. These illustrations introduce viewers to an artistic vocabulary of colour\, line\, foreground\, background\, perspective\, and more. \nThe five artists featured in this exhibition create work that performs superhero feats. Their art draws our tamariki into stories\, encouraging them to read and view images that reflect their identities and the endless possibilities of the world around them. These superheroes care for each other and our environment\, explore our surroundings\, challenge norms\, and connect with the unseen world.
