Define Gravity - An Exhibition by Tatiana Skorik
07 -25 February
Community gallery space - Franklin Arts Centre

Opening event:
Saturday 7th February
11am, All Welcome

Define Gravity is not a statement, but an invitation - to reflect on gravity not only as a physical law, but as a sensation: something felt, reformulated, and momentarily shifted.
This photographic exhibition explores gravity as both a physical and internal force. Local dancers are portrayed in suspended moments where effort remains visible and release has not yet arrived.
The photographer dwells on pauses - fragile intervals where tension, vulnerability, and presence become perceptible.
Here, gravity functions not only as a physical force, but as a metaphor for discipline, expectation, and internal pressure carried by the dancer. Photography becomes a way to reveal what often
escapes attention: weight, silence, and the tension that exists within flight.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
