We've just added a new artwork to Tour 3! Don't miss out on artist Darcell Apelu's EPIC golden fountain at Tauranga Art Gallery.
https://cityartwalktga.stqry.app/1/tour/8252/item/98630
‘You will never | possess the soil | you will never | be secure’, is written along the base of the fountain. It is Apelu’s reversal of 19th Century British colonist Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s directive: ‘Possess yourselves of the soil and you are secure’. Turning Wakefield’s phrase on its head, she scrutinises the promise of prosperity which drew her ancestors and many other migrants to Aotearoa.
Darcell Apelu is an artist of Niuean and pākeha descent based in Mount Maunganui, who currently teaches at Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology, Tauranga.
