In recent years we have seen the building momentum of actions, protests and occupations expressing the desire for social change and equality. These are the loud and noisy face of a much broader engagement and individual choice that many people make: to speak critically and fearlessly about small and large issues despite the personal risk this may entail. Assembly’s kaupapa is to interrogate the concept and practice of fearless speech as it occurs across many issues and forms of speaking.

Gallery hours will vary during Assembly, and not all events are public. A daily schedule will be posted on the website and our Facebook page, or call the Gallery on 921 9999 x 8313 for information on opening hours and events.

All events are at ST PAUL St Gallery One unless otherwise stated. More events will be announced as the project progresses.
