Join us from 5pm on Friday 11 Paengawhāwhā April to celebrate the launch of our second chapter of exhibitions and projects.

For 2025 Enjoy is shifting to a seasonal approach to our exhibitions and programming, hosting six 'Chapters' throughout the year. This shift in our exhibition calendar aligns with our sustainability mission, fostering cohesive storytelling while preserving adaptability and strengthening community engagement.

For Chapter Two, Enjoy is excited to announce two exhibitions: Where Is My Childhood? by Ali Asfour and The Shamash stays the same but the Atua is different by Mariam Tawfik. 

Ali Asfour is a Palestinian analog film photographer based between Ramallah, Palestine, and Jordan, Amman. His work explores themes of displacement, identity, and resistance while celebrating the resilience, culture, and traditions of Palestinian life. Through cinematic imagery and a focus on everyday moments, he aims to weave narratives that evoke longing and nostalgia, countering erasure and fostering a deeper understanding of his people's experiences. His photography serves as a testament to the Palestinian spirit, balancing beauty and adversity while inviting reflection and action toward justice.

His work has been exhibited locally and internationally, including his solo exhibition The Promise of Liberty at New York’s Institute of Arab and Islamic Art. It has also been featured in notable publications such as GQ Middle East, Atmos, The New Arab, Waastaa, Dazed Middle East, and Nowness Asia, helping to amplify the stories of Palestinian existence to audiences around the world.

Mariam Tawfik is a multidisciplinary artist and sound designer based in Aotearoa, whose work navigates the intersectionality of faith, memory, and land.

Through melismatic soundscapes, immersive video and wordplay, Tawfik offers a meditative and hopeful space for contemplation and reconnection. She forges links between the landscapes and languages of Iraq and Aotearoa as well as between the spiritual and the earthly realms.

Tawfik’s sound designs serve as a drum for storytelling, inviting the listener to engage with the echoes of ancestral lands and spiritual realms. Her work calls for a reclamation of space and an invitation to collectively explore alternative narratives of our past, present and future.
