Synonym City

The week-long solo exhibition Synonym City featured early work by Heidi Brickell (Te Hika o Papauma, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Kahungunu, Rangitāne, Ngāi Tara, Rongomaiwahine), an artist who would go on to become a successful and established figure in Aotearoa art.

Brickell’s large-scale paintings and sculptural work explored themes related to history, experience and representation, including a painting referencing Queen Victoria and world colonisation—foreshadowing the conceptual exploration of Indigenous knowledge and cultural identity the artist has become known for.
