At The Margins: International Print Exchange: Exhibitions

PCANZ (Print Council Aotearoa New Zealand) & AP (Aberystwyth Printmakers Wales)

This exhibition asked printmakers to reflect on the way that the 'marginal' positions of the British and New Zealand archipelagos have influenced the representation of culture, landscape, society, remembered histories, and how this has changed in the 21st century.

Across The Ditch

A collaborative travelling exhibition and print exchange between Impress members (Australia) and PCANZ members.

A broad interpretation of the theme ‘Across the Ditch’ explored within the context of contemporary printmaking. This could be figurative or abstract, concerning national identity, the Tasman, borders, transitions, closeness, gaps, difference, icons…and so on.
