Raft Launch and Performance: Isla by Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira

Join us on the shores of Lake Whakatipu for the launch of Isla, a floating performance by Chilean artist Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira.


This translucent raft, inhabited by native plants from Aotearoa and Rapa Nui, becomes a nomadic refuge - projecting voices and stories that explore migration, hospitality, and cultural connection across oceans and time.


As night falls, interviews with Māori and Rapanui participants are projected from within the raft, with sound accessible via shore-based speakers or QR code.


Bring a blanket, stay for the BBQ, and witness this powerful, living installation as it begins its journey around the lake.


In case of bad weather, check Te Atamira's social media for updates.

 

This performance is part of the exhibition, Notes in the Border, Notes at the River, Notes from the Ocean | Notas en la frontera, notas en el río, notas desde el océano.
