OPSITARA Research
Welcome to this month's issue with a varied selection of research by our staff and students. We would like to invite you to join us for Prof Mary Butler's Inaugural Professorial Event on 31 August. Please register online if you would like to attend. This event has been rescheduled from March due to COVID-19 lockdown.
We would like to congratulate Scott Eady, Dunedin School of Art, who has been named as the 2020 Ōtepoti Dunedin Public Art Gallery Artist in Residence. Lucy Hammonds, Curator at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, says "We are excited to announce that we will be working with Scott Eady as artist in residence, supporting Eady in realising a number of long-term projects that are deeply grounded in the community and location of Ōtepoti Dunedin. Nationally and internationally recognised, Eady brings experience and insight to this project and we’re looking forward to seeing how this project evolves over the upcoming months."
