Join us from 10:30am on Saturday 28 March to celebrate the opening of What happens if it's broken? by Latamai Katoa and moon iron wings by Lily Worrall. 

What happens if it’s broken? considers the home as a site of perpetual repair, shaped through time and life’s performances.

moon iron wings is an exhibition of new work in still and moving image by Tāmaki Makaurau-born, Prishtina-based artist Lily Worrall, developed from her time in residence at the Rita Angus Cottage in the summer of 2025.

Latamai Katoa is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland whose practice spans installation, moving image, and stage-set-like structures. Drawing on queer and Pasifika experiences, their work explores memory, nostalgia, and the architecture of home, examining domestic space, state housing, and inherited histories.

Katoa has exhibited across Tāmaki Makaurau, including Nostalgia Archive at Wheke Fortress (2025–26), HAUMI Ē HUI Ē at Te Waka Tūhura Elam Galleries and George Fraser Gallery (2024), and What’s Tonight to Eternity? at George Fraser Gallery (2024). They are a National Geographic Society Young Explorer, using photography to foster tolerance, acceptance, and empathy, particularly for LGBTQ+ communities.

Through processes of reconstruction and re-dreaming, Katoa’s installations and images consider how memory and personal histories remain embedded in the spaces we inhabit, where domestic objects, walls, and surfaces carry traces of both time and experience.

Lily Worrall is an artist and filmmaker whose work explores the texture and materiality of image-making through both analogue and digital processes. Worrall investigates the images that emerge from the eye of the camera, and the traces they hold of those who wield and direct its gaze. Beyond capturing and framing her own work, Worrall draws on found and archival material to explore a more fragmentary approach to moving image. Her work has been presented in various formats, including site specific installations, essay films, fiction, and sound. Since graduating from Elam School of Fine Arts in 2016, Worrall has exhibited at the Aotearoa Art Fair, RM Gallery, and the Audio Foundation, and was the recipient of Enjoy’s Summer Residency at the Rita Angus Cottage in 2025.
