Homebound - An exhibition by Artist Amrit Kaur

Homebound

15th May 2025 - 5th June 2025

Community Gallery Franklin Arts Centre

HomeBound is a love letter to the quiet constancy of home-familiar, yet touched by time. Returning after a long absence, I see it anew, as if the years have softened the edges while deepening its meaning.

The lemons ripening in my backyard, the rustling of trees in the afternoon breeze, the gentle rhythm of daily life-these simple moments, once overlooked, now feel luminous. They are both unchanged and transformed, bearing the quiet dignity of things that persist.

My work captures this delicate paradox: the way home remains, yet shifts in our absence. It is a meditation on memory, on the beauty of the ordinary, and on the ever-changing lens through which we see the places that shape us.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ›’

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think weโ€™ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So hereโ€™s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weโ€™d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
