NCEA students from four local schools present recent works, most of which will go into NCEA portfolios: Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery, Te Aratai College, Avonside Girls’ High School and Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School.

Alter is an exhibition of art by young men who have experienced adversity through their lives and are receiving support through Waipuna and Tūmanako Trust. The name Alter represents the small but significant steps these young men take every day to heal and change the trajectory of their lives. Abstract art is a safe space to let go of control, it allows these young men to explore the idea of play, have experiences some missed out on as children, and start a process of healing.
