Add some art in the outdoors to your weekend calendar.
From tomorrow, 31 October, thirty photographs of Intaka Island go on show in Ratanga Park, presented by Century City Arts Foundation, Intaka Island and Century City.
To mark Intaka’s 30th anniversary, a competition was held, asking the public to send in their own: any subject, any year, taken by anyone who had ever stood on the island with a camera. About 1,640 photographs arrived, which were narrowed to a hundred, then to the thirty now on display, and the range is what stays with you.
The top thirty includes a caracal in the reeds, a grey heron and a cormorant disputing the same patch of water, a giant kingfisher just before the dive, and many more. Each one is a small window onto the island, opened by someone who stopped long enough to look.
A Thousand Windows is an open-air exhibition, so you can walk through it at your own pace, any time Ratanga Park is open (from sunrise to sunset), until the end of January 2027. It also links the two largest green spaces in Century City, so if you know one of them well, this is a good excuse to discover the other.
Come and find your favourite, take pictures and tell us which one it is.
