Mānawatia a Matariki! The new year and mid-winter are here, and it’s a busy month down at the windows. Fellow Viewfinder collaborator Lee Woodman is holding an Escape Plan Studio Sale from 4 to 6 July 2025, down at 259 Hardy Street. All funds go to supporting his artist residency in Lisboa, Portugal, which he will attend later this year. Ka rawe!

Viewfinder will hold its first window-based performance Shift of Tides, 2025, directed and performed by Karolina Gorton alongside Pipi-Ayesha Evans. Shift of Tides, 2025 explores cyclical movements and themes where ‘Thoughts, actions, ideas, situations have a beginning and an end. Often these beginnings and endings are not defined, linear nor consistent.’ Gorton and Evans bring a wealth of experience and commitment to their performances and audiences are in for a riveting treat.

Catch the performance here:

When: 7pm, on Friday and Saturday,18 & 19 July 2025
Where: Viewfinder, 259 Hardy Street
Duration approx. 40minutes
