Contemporary HUM.

Diversity Art Forum is pleased to support the development of Contemporary Hum. It plays an important part in the global art scene providing information on New Zealand artists that many people would not know.

Contemporary​​ HUM​​ aims​​ to ​​generate critical​​ discussion​​ and​ provide ​​greater visibility​​ of ​​New ​​Zealand ​​visual arts​​ and​​ creative​​ disciplines​​ presented overseas.​ Established in 2016 by ​​New ​​Zealand ​​art professionals ​​based ​i​n ​​Paris ​​and ​​London, HUM's particular focus is on ​​projects taking ​​place ​i​n Europe and the Americas, ​​and ​i​s ​​progressively ​​expanding its geographical ​​coverage. ​In 2017, HUM covered events at the Venice Art Biennale, Edinburgh Art Festival, documenta 14 amongst others.


HUM is the first centralised platform dedicated to documenting New Zealand projects abroad, offering a much needed conduit for global exchange.

As an online publication, we commission writers to respond, review and interview artists and art professionals from Aotearoa New Zealand who are working internationally. We also involve international writers, curators and artists in order to draw attention and critical discourse to New Zealand's contribution in the global arts landscape, to support and nurture the success of our artists, and to encourage knowledge sharing.


HUM's ​​calendar ​​of ​​events ​​presents ​t​he ​​wide spectrum ​​of ​​projects ​​and ​​disciplines ​​operating abroad, ​​so ​​you ​​can ​follow ​​who ​i​s ​​doing ​​what, where, ​​no ​​matter ​​where ​​you ​​are. ​
