- **Event Description**: How might scent be a carrier of stories, memory and of lived experiences?  
 
We close the 2026 Monica Brewster Evening Series with an immersive conversation exploring the world of custom perfume creation. Multidisciplinary scent artist Nathan Taare (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tama) will share how his practice spans multimedia art, oil painting, sculpture and olfactory art — with a focus on scent as a public, expressive medium deeply tied to whakapapa. Taara is currently creating bespoke perfume brand development for small fashion brands, and in June presents work at The Biennale d'art contemporain autochtone (BACA) / Contemporary Native Art Biennial in Montreal.

For Nathan, scent is more than fragrance, it is a carrier of story, belonging and lived experience. Join us for an evening that invites us to tune into how olfactory cues consciously connect us with memory and illuminate our emotional landscapes.  In a world saturated with visual culture, Nathan’s work asks what it might mean to slow down and return to the quiet intimacy of smell. His practice reminds us that scent can both hold and transmit histories, offering space for connection, reflection and care in the present. 

Nathan Taare (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tama) is a multidisciplinary artist and freelance Production Designer & Art Director from Aotearoa, based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara and working globally. While his primary focus is film, his practice spans sonic art, photography and olfactory design. Known for bold aesthetics, precise execution and emotionally resonant work, Taare explores scent as a public, artistic and expressive medium, tracing its deep connection to whakapapa and lived experience.
