Since its establishment in 1974, the Chartwell Trust has championed the importance of creative visual thinking, shaping an expansive collection of contemporary art and an enduring programme of philanthropic and education support. Its work is driven by a commitment to explore the role creative thinking and making plays in our lives and its potential to create positive change. This exhibition of archival material from the Chartwell Collection Trust and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki celebrates 50 years of their visionary activity. The Chartwell Collection was initially developed as a loan collection with the Waikato Museum of Art and History, with the first work acquired in 1974. In 1982 Chartwell established the Centre for Contemporary Art (CFCA) in Hamilton, which, in addition to housing the Collection, provided an alternative art space committed to growing an audience for contemporary art, staging 134 exhibitions until its closure in 1994. Since 1997, the Collection has been on long-term loan to Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.

**Note: $5 registration fee can be used as a credit toward a purchase in-store. The credit expires the night of book club.** About the Book “[A] cli-fi fantasy exploring the potential for rage and trauma to break the world.” — Library Journal , starred review “ And the Sky Bled is already drawing comparisons to the work of N. K. Jemisin and Fonda Lee.” –Paste Magazine Amid the chaos of a dying city ruled by colonizers, three rivals—a thief, a slumlord, and an heiress—race to find a hidden cache of magic that will decide the city’s fate. In the occupied city of Tejomaya, calor — a magical fossil fuel—is found only in the blood rains that fall from the sky. While a six-month drought has brought Tejomaya to a desperate standstill, rumors of a secret stash of magic propel three unlikely treasure seekers to risk everything. Tenacious and street-smart Zain Jatav has been forced to steal calor for her slumlord bosses for years. Finding the magic reserve might be her only key to freedom. But she’ll have to contend with Iravan Khotar, a slumlord himself and an ambitious revolutionary hoping to use the same magic to save his people from the mysterious illness devastating the slums—and to bolster a fight against their oppressors. Meanwhile, heiress Anastasia Drakos leads the ruling council of Tejomaya from the safety of a nearby island. With the hidden magic, she could finally take full control of the city and crush the slums beneath her unyielding fist. As Zain, Iravan, and Anastasia draw closer to finding the treasure, their paths tangle, and not for the first time—they met before, a decade ago, in a fire that destroyed each of their lives in different ways. Their reunion might bring the already-weakened city to its knees. Exploring the devastating mechanisms of power, this searing climate fantasy breathes life into a crumbling world hovering on the brink of total destruction. About the Author S. Hati is a speculative fiction writer, currently residing in the Bay Area. She holds a bachelor’s degree in microbiology from UCLA and a master’s degree in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University and pretends to use them both while working in health tech. She writes about brown girls in strange worlds that straddle the line between magic and science. Information Source: Sidetrack Bookshop | eventbrite
