Join us at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday 10 April for an artist talk with Christopher Ulutupu.

Ulutupu will be in conversation with Enjoy’s curator/manager Sophie Davis, discussing his current exhibition Dreaming of Lulu, on display until Saturday 20 April.

Dreaming of Lulu is a solo exhibition by Pōneke-based artist Christopher Ulutupu. Reimagining music videos for 1970s Samoan love songs from groups such as Punialavaa, Penina Tiafau, Tiama’a, this is the first iteration of a new body of work by Ulutupu called 5 songs that explores music’s ability to travel across diasporic, cultural and intergenerational spaces.
