Exhibition Coexistence
2018
An international outdoor art exhibition.
Coexistence Wellington proudly brought Exhibition Coexistence to Wellington, New Zealand, in 2018 - making it the 35th host city of this incredible international art exhibition. As part of the exhibition, multiple events were held:
Coexistence cultural day
Wellington brought out all the stops with amazing weather and an incredible crowd! The performers really made the day, displaying the diversity and unity of Wellington. We were also very luck to give away some awesome spot prizes from local businesses.
international women’s day
International Women’s Day was celebrated all around the world. A collaborated event with the United Nation Association New Zealand at the Hippopotamus Restaurant, QT Museum Hotel brought together an inspirational group of women to discuss the theme “Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”.
coexistence: a conversation
Artists, students, family, friends and all Wellingtonians were invited to join in the conversation with the curator of Exhibition Coexistence and discuss how the exhibition came about and what we can do to spread the message of coexistence.
COEXIST: A YOUTH EVENT WITH ZEAL
Young creatives showed their true talent at the Coexist - A Coexistence WGTN Youth Event. We had some really awesome performances showcasing the up-and-coming youth in Wellington. Special thanks to Zeal for putting together this event and the Wellington City Council for sponsoring!
