SUMMARY:Kōrero | Stories from the Canterbury Home Front during WWII
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a kōrero with Angela Wanhalla\, Professor of History at the University of Otago\, about some of the lesser-known aspects of Canterbury’s WWII Home Front story. \nStories from the Canterbury Home Front during WWII \nThis illustrated talk will explore the women who married American servicemen\, and their fate\, through to Māori engagement in the patriotic war effort. What did the home front experience look like for Māori men and women in Canterbury and what impact did the war have on their lives? \nAngela Wanhalla specialises in Māori\, New Zealand\, and women’s history. She is currently involved in two projects: a book on the social\, legal and cultural legacies of the American occupation of New Zealand through the experiences of New Zealand’s GI War Brides. She is also working on a collaborative project with Professor Lachy Paterson (Te Tumu) on the Māori Home Front during the Second World War\, which is supported by a Marsden Grant. \nImage: Created by Jordan Quinnell as part of the Te Hau Kāinga Histories and Legacies of the Māori Home Front\, 1939-45 project.

SUMMARY:ANZAC Day kōrero: Defending Waitaha Canterbury during WWII
DESCRIPTION:This ANZAC Day 25 April\, join us in commemorating the New Zealanders who have served our country by visiting our timely new exhibition Westerfield Camp – The Army Marches In and attending a special 2pm kōrero about Westerfield Military Camp in Hakatere Ashburton and the Awaroa/Godley Head coastal defence battery near Lyttleton Harbour. \nThese two defence sites in Waitaha Canterbury were constructed during the Second World War amidst a widespread fear of attack or invasion of Aotearoa itself\, first by the Germans and later by the Japanese. Our Senior Museum Curator Maryann Cowan will share the forgotten story of the Westerfield Military Camp\, built in 1942 across a 162 hectare landscape located 19km inland from Ashburton\, of which few physical remnants exist. The story of this fleeting camp has been pieced together through photographs\, archival records and first-hand accounts. \nGodley Head Heritage Trust Historian and Chair Peter Wilkins will also discuss one of the most intact and extensive WWII coastal defence batteries left in Aotearoa. In its heyday\, the Godley Head fort was a self-contained community staffed by over 400 men and women. Today\, three large gun emplacements and seven military buildings remain. The site has undergone significant repair in recent years and new interpretation has been developed to improve the visitor experience\, including WWII murals created by Ōtautahi street artist Wongi Wilson. \n

SUMMARY:Westerfield Camp - The Army Marches In
DESCRIPTION:During periods of World War II\, New Zealanders lived in fear of attack or invasion\, first by the Germans and later by the Japanese. This exhibition explores the forgotten story of Westerfield Military Camp located 19km inland from Ashburton\, established in 1941 to provide a mobile response to a feared invasion. \nIn 1942\, the Army marched into Westerfield in a great flurry of activity\, changed the 162 hectare landscape\, and then disappeared as fast as they came. Witness the stories\, photographs and memories from the fleeting life of Westerfield Camp shared through this exhibition.

SUMMARY:Humour Me - The Funny Side of Town
DESCRIPTION:While television sitcoms\, Instagram reels and Tik Tok videos are among the most popular forms of comedic entertainment today\, the humble printed cartoon has been providing New Zealanders with quick laughs for more than 160 years. \nAlthough the popularity of cartoons has waxed and waned over the years\, cartoonists have always been acute interpreters of public opinion\, conveying the public mood in a humorously exaggerated or satirical way. \nPolitical cartoons are often effective in capturing the essence of public personalities\, contemporary events and political issues. Whether they serve to stir the pot or encourage us to laugh at ourselves\, these cartoons can be important\, largely uncensored historical sources. \nHumour Me – The Funny Side of Town explores Hakatere Ashburton’s own rich cartooning heritage\, showcasing cartoons published in the Ashburton Guardian and various other short-lived newspapers/magazines about a variety of local issues. This exhibition also highlights the work of our district’s talented cartoonists\, including Sid Scales\, Frank H. Choat and Frank D. Choat.

Challenges relate to specific activities at the facilities over the summer holidays – for example\, at the Ashburton Museum youngsters will be asked to complete an activity that is part of a visiting space discovery exhibit. \nThe annual challenge is a great way to keep youngsters occupied and the activities are free. It starts on Wednesday 14 December and runs until 29 January next year\, so there’s plenty of time to get through all 10 challenges. \nPick up a Burty Challenge card from our front desk to get started!

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Kelliher Paintings - a New Zealand Phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to have Dr. Mark Stocker coming to Ashburton to share some of his knowledge and insight into our upcoming exhibition Rare and Unrivalled Beauty: Landscape Paintings from the Kelliher Art Trust Collection. Mark’s recently published article in Art New Zealand\, ’This is New Zealand: The Kelliher Collection Tours the Mainland’ (Autumn 2022)\, delves into the history and some of the controversy that still surrounds the Kelliher Collection\, and celebrates their ‘unrivalled beauty’. As Stocker says in his Art New Zealand article: “What immediately impresses is how admirably crafted many of the exhibits (whether ancient or modern) really are: they know their stuff\, what to represent and how to represent it.” \nCost: Free; light refreshments will be served. \nDr Mark Stocker is a semi-retired art historian who lives in Christchurch.  An academic at Canterbury and Otago for nearly 30 years\, his last job was Curator\, Historical International Art at Te Papa. Mark has 250 publications to his credit\, and his most recent book is When Britain Went Decimal: The Coinage of 1971 (Spink/ Royal Mint).  He also writes a monthly online column on historical pop music. \n  \nMark and Matty\, Cust 2020 \nTop image | Dick Frizzell\, Two Sheds and a Power Pole\, 2009.

SUMMARY:Moon Walking
DESCRIPTION:About: \nThis brief activity is inspired by the Gallery’s current exhibition The moon and the pavement. Visitors are invited to consider their personal memories in relation to the different surfaces they walk upon\, and make a small artwork to represent such. \nDo you remember what your feet have walked upon today? They may have walked over cracked pavements\, jumped in muddy puddles\, stomped on crunchy gravel\, or ran through freshly cut grass. \nWhat do you think your feet saw? \nThis activity is designed to make you think about the different environments your body goes through without you fully noticing: \n1. To begin\, choose a template of a moon phase and cut it out. \n2. Then\, within your moon remember and draw what your feet have walked upon today. \nSignage and example pieces will be at the Museum reception\, as well as on the Gallery foyer tables. \nAges: All \nCost: Free; all welcome

Throughout Māori Language Week\, packs will be free and available from the Ashburton Art Gallery and Museum for everyone in the local community. \nWe would like each flash card to be diverse and representative of the amazing talent in the Hakatere Ashburton District. So\, we are inviting school pupils to design illustrations for the  flashcards. Tamaraki and rangatiti in Years 1-13 can enter\, and we would be delighted to receive entries in a range of media and styles. Taking part in this art competition will enrich Māori culture\, develop awareness of the Ngāi Tahu dialect\, and inspire creativity in the classroom. \nIn addition to having your artwork printed and distributed around Hakatere Ashburton\, there will also be 10 mystery prizes to be won!
