Resonate 05 Presents Artbeatz Activate

Artbeatz Activate asked each of the artists to create music cover art - with the artists choosing between four distinct music genres – (Hip Hop/Drum n Bass, Maori/Pacific & Soul, RnB/POP and Alternative/Rock). The results of their artist interpretations will be exhibited in four of Auckland's most innovative Galleries spaces - Auckland Art Gallery Auditorium Foyer, X Space, AUT, and Disrupt Gallery & Illicit HQ.

In conjunction with the exhibition Artbeatz Activate has produced a forty page booklet that documents the background of these artists ensuring their profiles and Artbeatz Activate continues even after the doors of the galleries have closed.
