COVENS ARE COOL

If your go-to image of suffrage resembles the mother character from

Mary Poppins and her placard-bearing, white, middle-class comrades,

The Suffrage of Coven might surprise you. A multimedia exhibition and public programme series, it brings brown and queer voices to the forefront of feminism. There is performance, photography, film, object, installation and social experimentation, which includes vogueing lessons. The opening includes guest speakers and a full Coven performance.

Opening today, 10.30am, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and Sat-Sun 10am4pm, until November 17, Mangere Arts Centre — Nga Tohu o Uenuku, cnr Bader Drive and Orly Ave, Mangere.
