SWINE is a project-based gallery space in Whanganui. There are two central aims of SWINE. One is to bring artists from outside of Whanganui in, using SWINE as a space to bring new ideas and practices to the region contributing to the wider arts ecosystem. The other aim is to curatorially assist the practices of artists from Whanganui, with the aim of producing a show with an accompanying text or essay, and use that to amplify their practices.
