Through presentations, performance and kōrero, this day workshop is designed to draw out the wider ramifications, alternative histories and worldviews that encircle Energy Work, the exhibition at Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery that brings together works by Kathy Barry and Sarah Smuts-Kennedy.

This event is co-produced with Whiti o Rehua School of Art Massey University. It is the first event in a research project coordinated by Massey University Senior Lecturer Marcus Moore.
