Invitation to contribute to "The Book of Otago"

Posted: Wednesday Jul 05, 2023

What does Otago mean to you?

The Centre for the Book is excited about Prof. Simone Marshall’s latest project, “The Book of Otago.” In collaboration with the Otago Art Society - OAS, contributions are invited for an exhibition intended to reveal the past, present and future. Inspired by the early medieval manuscripts of remote far-flung places (the Book of Kells), the Book of Otago captures a moment in time – what Otago means to us all.

Artists, writers, children, schools, community groups and other Otago organisations are encouraged to submit entries showing what Otago means to you.

Entries must be one page, measuring no larger than 297mm x 420mm (A3), in portrait orientation. Works may use any medium – painting, textiles, digital, photography, etc. – but must be suitable for inclusion in a book.

At the conclusion of the exhibition, selected works will be bound in the Book of Otago as a permanent celebration of the region.

For information and entry details email simone.marshall@otago.ac.nz

The exhibition runs from 16 November to 3 December 2023.
