Circuit K Road is a collaborative arts event involving digital art, multimedia, photography, moving image, sound, improvised choreography and performance amongst other artforms. A walkable circuit of site specific installations respond to the heritage and culture of K Road, inviting audiences to explore concepts of place, people and playfulness.

Participating artists have been working with K Road heritage expert and historian, Edward Bennett in their research and development phase. The artists and performers aim to educate audiences about the rich fabric that is K Road's cultural legacy and encourage people to engage with the area's diverse present.

Circuit K Road has fostered links between artists, producers, creative organisations and tertiary education providers such as Auckland University, Unitec and Colab. The multi-disciplinary and cross-sector approach to the project is based on collaborative decision making and creative community development models.

The range of artists and mediums lends itself to an innovative, curious and engaging mix. The circuit can be walked at your leisure, with a map you can pre-download or pick up from the starting point of St Kevins Arcade. Backlit Productions will embody bridal parties waiting to photographed.

The garden party history of Nathan House will be re-ignited through immersive installations with actors, projections, sets and music. Elam and Auckland University students activate the Poynton Terrace area through a variety of visual arts, ranging from object installation to illustration. Kim Newall will explore deep history and unseen history through the use of digital and analog mediums.

Monster Valley brings an unprecedented view into 24 hours of flux and flow on K Road. Uniform Collective, Benjamin Brooking, Robin Gee and Jahra Rager will also be applying their crafts to exploring K Road's identity and history.

Laura Forest, curator of the K Road Artweek programme, is excited about the potential of Circuit K Road to revitalise a sense of heritage and connection through art. “Watching the development of relationships between the artists and their sites has been fascinating and inspiring. I've learnt so much about K'Road through this process, and I believe our audience will experience similar sparks of insight and connection”.
