SHAKY ISLES
Hut Club Whakatipu
Where art meets nature.
A community led outdoor visual arts project by artists Keminiko & Co.
We are working with innovative and intrepid artists Keminiko & Co to bring an exciting outdoor community lead visual arts project to the Whakatipu.
We will work together with communities to design, build and install bespoke tramping huts, full of wonder, in a natural setting. Asking the questions…
- What about te whenua / the land matters most to you?
- What stories are connected to this place/space/environment?
- What does this place mean to you?
- What historical events or people have ongoing relevance here?
- What aspirations do you have for your community?
Made from
found materials
100% sustainable!
The huts will be made from found materials making them 100% sustainable! There will be printed and online content to aid everyone’s hut hunting adventure.
We will work with local writers to create new Hut Fiction inspired by each hut and its surroundings.
We will create free education resources for schools to find fun ways to engage with the huts and their creation.
Dates of this project are still to be confirmed.
