Te Uru is a regional gallery locally rooted in West Auckland but globally minded. With our unique perspective, located in the forested outskirts of Tฤmaki Makaurau, Te Uru is the region's leading contemporary gallery with an international programme that reflects our place in Aotearoa and the wider Moana region, connecting new ideas and different practices with local and global networks. Our vision is to be the leading home for contemporary culture that is fresh, relevant, empowering, and essential to the wellbeing of our communities. As a destination gallery, Te Uru operates from an award-winning building in the recently redeveloped Lopdell Precinct that attracts local, regional, national and international visitors. We originally opened in 1986 as the Waitemata City Arts and Cultural Centre, later known as Lopdell House Gallery, sited in the historic Lopdell House building in the heart of scenic Titirangi, gateway to the Waitฤkere rain forest and en route to Auckland's famous west coast beaches. We reopened as Te Uru in November 2014 in new purpose-built facilities, offering extraordinary exhibitions, dramatic architecture and spectacular views of the surrounding area. Our name, Te Uru, makes reference to Te Hau a Uru, the wind that blows from the west, a powerful characteristic of the region and an important story for local iwi, Te Kawerau ฤ Maki, who have bestowed us with this new kaupapa. The west wind shares the messages and vision of the people that live in the west, brings change, sets direction and influences Auckland City from its mountainous perch atop Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa - the Waitฤkere Ranges. Te Uru will be a source of information and ideas that will project across the region - a fitting framework for a contemporary gallery. Public transport - buses and trains available from New Lynn transit station

Watkins will present a selection of rare and obscure vinyl from around the world, focusing on musique concrรจte, experimental and electroacoustic music, spoken word, environmental recordings, and minimalist electronics. Played live across a set of turntables within a surround-sound environment, the two-hour deep listening performance invites audiences to recline, blindfolded, and immerse themselves in an extended sonic experience.

Foregrounding vibration, resonance, and silence as alternative ways of encountering time and togetherness, this session positions the exhibition as both a space of research and a living social practice.

Ellie is a young art lover with a wild and inquisitive mind. Every now and then, sheโ€™ll pop in at Te Uru to visit our exhibitions and to engage with the exhibiting artists about their works.

Tฤmaki Makaurau-based Nat Tozer is an artist and arts worker interested in the revision of folk tales and ancient mythologies into contemporary local ecologies. She has a penchant for weird tunnelling and digging, anarchist anthropology and network theories, often splicing expanded geological inquiry with science fiction. She seeks to interrogate her relationship with placeโ€”by attempting to dig, cast, frottage, film, animate, and imagine the world around her.

Moving between a earthquake-scarred terrain, referencing ลŒtautahi and the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro, the film follows Rangi and Libertรฉโ€™s journey and realization that the earth is not as a resource to possess, but as a living archive of histories, relations and futures. Drawing on Mฤori narratives of Ranginui and Papatลซฤnukuโ€™s children, alongside the Greek myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha, Tozer considers how archaeology, deep time and kaitiakitanga might unsettle dominant ideas of linear time and history, inviting other, more embodied ways of relating to the land.

SAT 17 OCT, 11AM

You are warmly invited to join us for a morning of art: This is an opportunity for an informal encounter with artist and 2025 Rydal Art Prize winner Ruth Ige in her exhibition ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Œ๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด.

In her painting practice, Ige often incorporates materials from the African continent and its diaspora that are not traditionally considered artistic media. Yet these materials play important roles in both ceremonial and everyday contexts, from ritual practices to food preparation. During this Informal Encounter, Ige will introduce visitors to materials such as onugbu leaves, alligator pepper, and osรนn powder, and share how they become part of her artistic practice.
Offering a rare chance to engage directly with the artist, this event also invites visitors to encounter materials that many will be experiencing for the first time.
