The Landing: local stories find a timeless home

An exhibition titled "The Landing" was held at the Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku from August 30 to October 18, 2025. Created by artists Sith Douang Kham Chanh and photographer Lilian Rose Martirez, the project transformed local community stories into living taonga (treasures) by photographing participants with a meaningful personal or cultural item and recording their narratives in their own words.
