Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour

Know Your Place ran from 20 November – 1 December 2024, forming part of Moving the Middle, a 5-year research programme led by Manaaki Whenua.

One strand of Moving the Middle, Agents of Change, looks at a wide range of different agents of pro-environmental change on land.

Know Your Place was not only an opportunity to showcase artists as agents of change, but also to explore how experiencing art might lead to change.
