ArtCan is delighted to present ‘AMPLIFY’ the first exhibition for ArtCan in New Zealand, and first in the southern hemisphere!
The exhibition showcases a striking video installation collating multiple contributions from ArtCan members globally, enabling us to cross multiple timelines and bring the ArtCan community together.
The video artworks combine as a series of short films to be projected in the Annex Gallery in the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts in Wellington, NZ.
Artists explore the theme of ‘Amplify (verb) – to make greater (in amount / importance / intensity)
Amplify is a collaborative film exhibition by international arts organisation, ArtCan, seeking to share, speak out and magnify. By bringing together multiple works through the medium of film, the collective work of their artists will reach across geographical boundaries, amplifying their accumulated voices.

Walking with Ghosts
We were delighted to connect with Thread and Word and work with Elspeth Penfold throughout the process. Through the walkshops, the expression and exploration of war became foregrounded . The walkshops also took us beyond the immediate vicinity of Folkestone and the last hundred years. Through engaging with poetry and art from global cultures, we reflected on the impact and experience of war across time, space and culture. This global perspective connected what was a site-specific artwork to a global story.
