Scarcity & Abundance A group exhibition of photography and mixed media at Thistle Hall, 293 Cuba Street, 29 August – 7 September 2023. Scarcity & Abundance, a group exhibition by fine art and architecture students, reflects on the value we place on the resources of Papatūānuku. Over one-third of households in Aotearoa NZ are struggling to afford the necessities of food and shelter. This exhibition re-examines resource use and distribution, kai security and our urban communities who come together to support each other. Kaibosh and The Free Store are partnering to support a group of students for a thought-provoking mixed media exhibition that turns the lens on food insecurity and urban scarcity in Pōneke. The Thistle Hall Community venue is activated as a welcoming place for all to view the art, meet the artists and our Kaibosh and Free Store communities. Hot drinks and soup provided free each day thanks to BGI, Wellington Timebank, The Free Store, Seeds to Feeds and Kaibosh.
