SUMMARY:Creative Mends workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sadly\, ‘throw away’ culture has led to a noticeable drop in people learning simple clothing repair skills. As a result\, many of us now lack a real understanding of the various stitching techniques and tricks used in basic fabric repairs. In this hands-on workshop we’ll encourage you take a more mindful and environmental approach to your wardrobe\, you’ll learn how to: \n– Fix rips\, holes and other wear and tear areas\n– Sew on buttons\, poppers and hooks/bars\n– Mend frayed edges and holes in knit sweaters \nThe workshop includes a starter sewing kit and fabric swatches to practice on\, but we encourage you to bring along items of your own clothing to work on directly! \nWe welcome anyone aged 16 and over to this workshop\, with a maximum of 15 participants. RSVP to aagm@adc.govt.nz

SUMMARY:Rachel Ratten | Artist Talk | Embroiderers' Guild Opening
DESCRIPTION:At the opening for The Magic of Needle and Thread\, the Embroiderers’ Guild exhibition\, Rachel Ratten will give a talk titled A journey from paint to thread. She will discuss her experiences with both quilting and freeform embroidery and her opposing approaches to these media. \nRachel graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from University of Canterbury in 2015. A figurative painter with a deep yearning for abstraction\, she was determined to crack it with paint\, but it just did not have the outcome that she wanted. Now Rachel produces textile-based “paintings” based on the formal elements of design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Openings and Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of two new exhibitions featuring an artist talk by Kim Ireland\, during which she will discuss her new works and provide insight into her practice. \nIn her new exhibition Mana Māna\, Kim Ireland utilises uku (clay) to produce a variety of forms that refer back to the natural shapes of the gourd in growth. This myriad of ceramics provide an analogy for whakapapa (genealogy) in the gourd as a container of knowledge passed down through generations\, and a representation of personhood when considering these objects as a whānau (family) group. \nIn Seriously Valuable Art\, the monetary value we place upon art is challenged. The exhibition asks viewers to guess which is the most expensive artwork on display. With one work being worth considerably more than the rest\, a question is posed: why are certain artworks more valuable than others? And can you tell the difference?

SUMMARY:Talk | Ian Soper: Ashburton Domain - The Why\, What and How
DESCRIPTION:Grandly named The Grange on Ashburton’s first map in 1864\, this fenced off area designated for recreation was largely indistinguishable from the untouched countryside around it. It wasn’t until 1877 when a newly appointed gardener began a systematic programme of planting that the area began to develop. Today known as the Ashburton Domain\, it has evolved into a versatile and much loved recreational area for our town. \nExplore objects\, archives\, photographs and tales associated with the Domain’s 160 year history in our exhibition Domain Tales: 160 years of Ashburton Domain\, and then find out more about how it is managed today at this special talk with ADC Open Spaces Manager Ian Soper. \nAs a career professional with over 48 years’ experience working in various sectors of the New Zealand Horticultural industry\, Ian has a passion for creating wonderful places and spaces for communities to use.

SUMMARY:Signs Past
DESCRIPTION:Signs impact our lives every day; they direct\, inform\, influence and advise us. Ideally\, the words\, symbols and graphics combine to convey a message in the form of a visually pleasing and easy to read sign. \nStyles\, methods and products used to create signage have changed dramatically over the past seventy years. A hand painted sign by a tradesman is now considered a work of art – a trade that flourished just forty years ago but is now largely overtaken by the age of digital signage. While illuminated signs still abound\, the process of manufacture has changed. \nOur Signs Past exhibition includes a selection of signage collected by the Ashburton Museum & Historical Society since the late 1950s\, although many pre-date this period. These signs and honours boards showcase a sign writer’s skill in conveying a visual message (or not\, in some cases). The signs vary in format but each preserve the story of a person\, place or time.

SUMMARY:Dianne Bardsley | The Land Girls | Historical Talk
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the closing of our exhibition Home Front Heroines\, join us for a special talk with Dianne Bardsley about land girls in Aotearoa. \nThroughout the 1990s Dianne Bardsley travelled across Aotearoa to trace and interview women who served in the Women’s Land Service during World War Two. Although she had found meagre official records in National Archives and the National Library\, with the help of retired wartime land girl Joan Butland\, she managed to find and interview 220 women in person and many more by written interview. Her book The Land Girls: In a Man’s World 1939-1946 was published by Otago University Press in 2000 and reprinted the same year. \nThe land girls\, numbering more than 4000\, cut across all demographic categories. They came from cities\, small towns\, and rural areas\, and from a range of occupations or university studies\, to live in a range of conditions. Former beauticians found themselves on isolated stations\, bathing in tin baths\, sleeping on makeshift beds in corrugated iron whare. Others luxuriated in the servant quarters of homesteads. Unused to animals and outdoor work\, they bought their own working dogs\, rode horses\, milked cows\, drove tractors\, and gutted and skinned sheep. \nWith a rural background\, Dianne Bardsley has been a secondary school teacher and university lecturer. She has a PhD in Applied Linguistics\, from which the book In the Paddock and On the Run describes the uniqueness and historical significance of New Zealand’s form of rural language.

SUMMARY:Through the Guardian Lens | Talk with Daryl Holden
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special talk with Daryl Holden\, the managing editor and co-owner of the Ashburton Guardian\, to celebrate our new exhibition Caught in the Moment: Guardian photographs of 1974. \nDaryl will explore the rich history and significant role of the Guardian newspaper over its 145 years in the district. This talk will focus on the impact the Guardian has made on the district\, why it is so much more than just a newspaper and why it’s important to the future democracy and vibrancy of Ashburton. \nDaryl has enjoyed a celebrated career in broadcasting and print media\, corporate communications and marketing for over 30 years. He’s edited more than a dozen papers\, has won multiple national journalism awards\, including being the recipient of a scholarship that saw him seconded to The Times\, of London. He has also worked in the agri-business field in senior commercial management and sales roles for national corporate organisations\, fertiliser company Ballance Agri-Nutrients and dairy herd animal testing company\, Livestock Improvement Corporation. He has been in charge at the Guardian for over three years and the district is an area he knows well. His wife is from Ashburton\, her parents still live in town as retired crop farmers and a brother and his family now run that farm. Outside of work\, sport has played a big part in Daryl’s life as a competitor\, coach and national board member\, and he loves his new “daughter’’\, a rehomed miniature schnauzer dog called Missy.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Legacy Issues
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our upcoming talk with artists from Legacy Issues on Sunday 09 June at 2pm. \nAt this talk\, artist and curator Hannah Watkinson will lead a panel discussion with the artists included in our new exhibition Legacy Issues. In addition\, featured artist Moana Lee will also give a live demonstration of the anthotype process\, a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of silverbeet juice and vodka before exposing it to UV light to create prints. \nLegacy Issues brings together contemporary photographic artists Mitchell Bright\, Conor Clarke\, Ella Hickford\, Moana Lee\, Mike O’Kane\, Tim J. Veling\, and Hannah Watkinson\, and presents the diverse ways they have pictured our region. This selection of photographs aims to provide the audience with new perspectives and considerations of the land that we live on. The artists all approach the process of working with lens-based media in unique ways – through collaboration\, revisiting sites\, and reimagining the scenes they capture as physical objects and visual displays. \nDiscover the many different facets of photography and how each artist approaches their practice at this special talk and demonstration. This will also be a great opportunity to see the exhibition before it closes on June 14.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Ynes Guevara
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our upcoming artist talk with Ynes Guevara on Sunday 19 May at 2pm. \nAt this talk\, Ynes Guevara will be in conversation with curator James Hope to discuss her new exhibition Altar\, Beautifying Understanding. \nIn this new suite of paintings\, Ynes looks to feminine archetypes to explore the magical and imaginary. Her reconstructed silhouettes produce new imagery\, considering the duality of the divine and erotic using a palette of six magenta tones\, a colour that holds much significance for her. \nThis talk will be an opportunity to gain an insight into Ynes’s practice and explore the literary and historical context of her work. \nNau mai koutou katoa! All are welcome at this free event.

SUMMARY:Caught in the Moment: Guardian photographs of 1974
DESCRIPTION:Which moments in time did the Ashburton Guardian photographers capture around Hakatere Ashburton throughout 1974? A selection of photographs from our large collection of negatives will take visitors on a journey across various aspects of life in our district 50 years ago. Although some of these images were published in the daily paper\, most weren’t and won’t have been seen before. Many of the photographs were taken to support a newsworthy story\, while some are a story in themselves. \n  \nImage from the Ashburton Guardian negative collection\, 12 January 1974

SUMMARY:Opening | Legacy Issues\, Tuitui Tangata\, and Altar\, Beautifying Understanding
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday 26 April at 6.30pm to celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions! \nLegacy Issues brings together contemporary photographic artists Mitchell Bright\, Conor Clarke\, Ella Hickford\, Moana Lee\, Mike O’Kane\, Tim J. Veling\, and Hannah Watkinson\, and presents the diverse ways they have pictured our region. This selection of photographs aims to provide the audience with new perspectives and considerations of the land that we live on. \nTuitui Tangata reflects the integral role Tivaevae occupies in connecting time and space\, intergenerational teaching\, and connections between Cook Islands people and the natural world. This exhibition showcases a wide range of creativity\, highlighting the limitless possibilities in designs\, colours\, and vibrancy. A selection of Tivaevae is featured\, generously provided by Ōtautahi Christchurch and Hakatere Ashburton Cook Islands community members and their families. \nIn Altar\, Beautifying Understanding\, Timaru-based artist Ynes Guevara looks to feminine archetypes to explore the magical and imaginary. Her reconstructed silhouettes produce new imagery\, considering the duality of the divine and erotic using a palette of six magenta tones\, a colour that holds much significance for her. \nNau mai koutou katoa! All are welcome at this free event and light refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:ANZAC day kōrero | 'Manpowering' women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special ANZAC Day talk on Thursday 25 April at 2pm to celebrate our new exhibition Home Front Heroines.  \nFrom January 1942 the New Zealand Government was able to direct women to work in essential industries. This saw many women working in jobs which prior to the war had been seen as male occupations. However the gender norms of the 1930s and 1940s had already been called into question in 1940 when the Women’s Land Corp was set up. Land girls often took on farm work which had previously been considered the domain of men. \nElizabeth Ward’s talk ‘Manpowering’ women and the challenge to gender norms during the Second World War will examine how the ‘manpowering’ of women upset gender norms and the issues this raised for New Zealand society. Elizabeth Ward is the manager of the Marlborough Museum. She has a PhD in History and specialises in the interwar period. \nImage | A Land Girl driving a Caterpillar Crawler.

SUMMARY:Home Front Heroines
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, the unsung heroes of Aotearoa New Zealand’s WWII home front efforts went largely unrecognised. \n‘Land girls’ of the Women’s Land Service\, an organisation formed under the Women’s War Service Auxiliary in 1942\, played a vital role in the country’s agricultural and food production industries while large numbers of men served in the armed forces overseas. \nExplore the history of the Women’s Land Service in Aotearoa in our new exhibition Home Front Heroines\, and discover the personal stories of noble\, hard-working Hakatere Ashburton women who served their country admirably despite the challenges and discrimination they faced.

SUMMARY:Marian Maguire | Exhibition opening and artist talk
DESCRIPTION:At the opening of The Enlightenment Project (expanded)\, Christchurch-based artist Marian Maguire will talk about the ideas and impetus behind this series\, which aims to make sense of this important age of European history\, and the worldwide reverberations that resulted. This exhibition builds on the initial showing of The Enlightenment Project in 2022 and Maguire has created additional works which extend into prehistory\, reflect on current reality\, and provide a counterpoint to the Western world view. \nMarian Maguire is best known for her lithographs and etchings which combine ancient Greek vase painting with New Zealand colonial history. Alongside historical and figurative imagery\, she has produced many exhibitions of abstract geometric paintings or invented plant drawings in which her interest in patterns\, and the disruption of patterns\, becomes evident.

SUMMARY:Talks | Chris Pole and Merv Falconer
DESCRIPTION:In this double-header event\, we’ll be hearing from artist Chris Pole about his current exhibition Crooked Spur\, and Merv Falconer\, Chief Pilot for Mount Cook Airways from 1974-84\, in connection with our From Tasman Glacier to Table Service exhibition. \nIn Crooked Spur\, Chris Pole’s unconventional landscape paintings inspired by his travels throughout the mid-Canterbury and upper Rakitata regions\, use a diagonal ‘slice’ to offset the imagery. These paintings bring the viewer into the landscape as a participant rather than an observer. Merv Falconer will give a presentation on the history and development of ski plane operations in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and Haupapa Tasman Glacier from the mid-1950s to the 2000s.
