About
Public Share is an Aotearoa New Zealand artist collective engaging in ideas of
production and exchange. We combine object making and site exploration with social engagement and critique, maintaining a particular interest in workplace rituals. We make and disseminate functional ceramic objects that facilitate time for pause, reflection and connection.
The collective engages with sites undergoing change and the workplace conditions that govern workers’ everyday activities, such as the hard-won entitlement to two 10 minute tea breaks in the working day. Public Share invites conviviality within the setting of the break, which is symbolic of the notion of workers’ rights and asserts the social and political implications of what it means to take pause.
