Vā: The Space Between

Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Art Students 

Fresh Gallery Ōtara
5/46 Fair Mall, Ōtara Town Centre, Auckland

25 July - 06 September 2025

In Pacific cultures, Vā is the sacred space of connection between people, the land, and the unseen. It is more than distance – it is where respect, relationships, and responsibility are nurtured. In this exhibition, student artworks explore Vā, celebrating the invisible threads that connect us through story, memory, and culture.
