ABOUT CONTEMPORARY HUM
Launched in December 2016, Contemporary HUM aims to generate critical discussion and provide greater visibility of Aotearoa New Zealand visual arts and creative disciplines presented overseas.
HUM is the first centralised platform dedicated to documenting New Zealand projects abroad, offering a much needed conduit for global exchange.
As an online publication, we commission writers to respond, review and interview artists and art professionals from Aotearoa New Zealand who are working internationally. We also involve international writers, curators and artists in order to draw attention and critical discourse to New Zealand’s contribution in the global arts landscape, to support and nurture the success of our artists, and to encourage knowledge sharing.
HUM’s calendar of events presents the wide spectrum of projects and disciplines operating abroad, so you can follow who is doing what, where, no matter where you are.
Established by two New Zealand art professionals based in Paris and London, HUM initially targeted projects taking place in Europe, and is progressively expanding its geographical coverage. Since 2018, HUM covers activity taking place in the Americas too. We work closely with communities in New Zealand and the diaspora to deliver this project.
